What educators are saying

It was a good resource, I used it with my 5th graders so there was some mods required to fit them, but still was great to use with a younger group!
My advanced 5th graders are having a great time working on during our morning individualized workshop time. It's allowing them to hone in some specific skills they need to work on, but they love not having to do it by just doing worksheets or book work.

Description

Real-World Math Project Not Your Lemonade Stand goes beyond the lemonade stand project and applies students' knowledge of percentages, decimals, graphing, and more. This is project-based learning at its best.

Included in this resource:

  • Student pages for 4 different businesses: bookstore, ice cream parlor, produce market, and bakery
  • Teacher's guide for all parts of the simulation
  • Simulation scenario and events for 4-part project

In this student-tested and approved real-world math project/simulation, students select one of 4 businesses. Over a 4-part simulation, the students must react to different real-world scenarios that affect costs and prices. Students develop skills in money concepts, percents, and decimals. Students are decision makers, analysts, and of course, mathematicians. They develop their skills in graphing, financial literacy, and more. This is a great project for middle school classrooms.

You can read how the simulation was developed and used on my blog.

Skills Include:

- Students will perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to the hundredths (5.NBT.B.5)

- Students will compute fluently with multi-digit numbers (6.NS.B.)

- Students will represent and interpret data (MD.B.)

- Students will graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems (5.G.A.)

- Students will represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables (6.EE.C.)

- Students will solve real-life problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations (7.EE.B)

- Students will make sense of problems and persevere in solving them (MP1)

Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.
Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., ๐˜น-axis and ๐˜น-coordinate, ๐˜บ-axis and ๐˜บ-coordinate).
Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) รท (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) รท (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (๐˜ข/๐˜ฃ) รท (๐˜ค/๐˜ฅ) = ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ/๐˜ฃ๐˜ค.) How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi?
Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
