Dream Vacation Budget Project- Scaffolded Version

Used for grades 7-12. Students do research (links are included) of their dream vacation, (flight, hotel, entertainment, and food). They then have to record their calculations on the attached spreadsheet and stay within their budget. There are some percentage questions (calculating tip and taxes on food/hotel). There are no formulas in the google sheets so that students are required to do their own calculations. Takes about 2 class days (45 min each), to complete.

Students have 4 options to choose from on the location, a few different entertainment options, and flight information is given. They only have to research food options with links to different restaurants in a few different locations. This way students focus on the math, and are not overwhelmed by the decision making process.

Also includes the Google Sheets so that the students can record their calculations.
