Description
This life skills math resource is a great budget project for high school students. It is fun, and engaging, and it has already been created for you! All you have to do is share the resource and enjoy guiding students through the experience!
This experience asks students to develop menus for a hypothetical dinner party under a set budget.
Students will brainstorm creative money-saving tricks when it comes to food, research recipes, tweak recipes to work for a large party, work with community experts, create a budget-friendly menu, and share their product with an authentic audience.
What to Know About this Resource:
- Because this is a project-based learning lesson plan with an emphasis on design thinking, students also develop soft skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking.
- The topic itself (meal budgeting) is real-world and relevant to students, keeping them engaged in the activity throughout the experience.
- This life skills project is low-prep and free as long as students have access to a computer and the internet. Students will lead; you will facilitate.

- This resource includes a PDF printable version and a digital, Google Slides version.
