What educators are saying
The students had a blast utilizing this project the same week our chickens hatched. It was a great review of the tools we needed thus far for the eggs to incubate and hatch and an introduction to what we needed to continue to care for them now that they were cheeping away in our classroom.
Description
Challenge your students to add 2 and 3-digit numbers and subtract 3-digit numbers in a real-world context!
Students are asked to read a passage about taking care of baby chicks. Then, they are given $300 and a catalog to order all of the supplies they will need to raise the chicks. Students must add up their total cost, determine if they have enough money, make adjustments if needed, and then subtract their total from $300 to calculate their change.
