Authentic Writing Experiences and Math Problem-Solving Using Shopping Lists
Authentic Writing Experiences and Math Problem-Solving Using Shopping Lists
Description:
This activity allows students to use their emerging writing skills to write their own shopping lists. Students use their problem-solving skills to stay within their budget as they choose items they plan to buy and create their personal shopping lists. If their lists don’t stay within budget guidelines, students are highly motivated to revise and edit. Once their lists work, students can actually go to the class store and buy their treats. This activity is a great way to integrate writing with math problem-solving.
