Math-Tastic Works

Concession Stand is a business simulation for grades 8 - 12. Students will open a business and use their math skills to complete order forms, update inventory, pay bills, keep a ledger, and open for days of sale. This project works with higher level Blooms Taxonomy and allows students to work together in groups.

Students will be immersed in a case of a stolen piece of art. They will study the evidence and create a case to take to court. Students will take on the role of prosecution or defense and become attorneys in the case. This simulation takes them from the beginning of a case to the end product, a mock trial. Everything that is needed for teacher and students is included.

46 Creative Writing prompts to get students engaged and wanting to write! Prompts are in order of the school year and contain holiday prompts along with a set of mystery prompts. I have used these prompts for both 4th and 5th graders, and all students have loved this fun time of the day. All prompts have fun timers to keep students on track.
