Where you can only buy ONE of every item!
In Mrs. Shapiro’s 7th grade math class, students were learning about unit rates. Finding units rates is something we do often when we go shopping. What better way to help my students understand this practical topic than to let them go shopping themselves. The classroom was converted into a store where there were items for purchase. The students received calculators and bags of money. Students were only allowed to purchase one of every item. The challenge was in the pricing of the items; 6 for $15, 8 for $119 and so on. Students made ratios of the items and price and needed to calculate the unit rate. Students had a fun and yummy experience finding unit rates.
