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. __________________________
