Something Special Ed

This is a fully scaffolded unit to teach how to convert percents to decimals, as well as how to calculate sales discounts (working towards appropriately using coupons). This unit has step-by-step prompts throughout and is appropriately scaffolded for a special education math class.

This is an activity that gives students the opportunity to make purchases based on an order ticket. They will be asked to locate the price of each item, correctly calculate the quantity of each item, pay with the appropriate bills/coins combination, as well as make the appropriate change when asked. The slides can be easily edited to change the prices and/or items shown. This has two levels of modifications.

Get festive this Valentine's Day season with your math class! This is a word problem lesson that touches on all four operations and has a focus on utilizing keywords. Feel free to add more problems to your slides lesson or split the operations across multiple days.

This is a budgeting activity that has your students use their given budget to decide what they can purchase without going over their spending limit. It will ask your students to identify different prices such as most expensive and least expensive items, as well as what their change will be after buying certain items. This activity can easily be turned into more of a hands-on activity when incorporating store circulars instead!
