I use this 4 day mini unit to start off the year and it never disappoints students. You are using math in a real life application and its not boring. Students will need to use all four operations & discuss divisibility. The four lessons include UPC(universal product code) numbers, ISBN (international standard book number) numbers, validating credit card numbers and working with VIN (vehicle identification numbers). There are a variety of questions that differentiate from easy to harder in the

Perform the indicated operations. Write your answer in lowest terms or as a mixed number in simplest form. Follow the path of your answers on the other side to save the turkey from inevitable doom at the hands of the pilgrims. The turkey’s life depends on YOU! Color your maze and pictures if you are done early for extra credit. Students really enjoy this one. Hint: have students do all the odd problems first, then the evens to make the path.
