Full Answer
How do you make up a problem in menu math?
Make up a problem using the information on the menu. Ask a classmate to read your problem and tell what operations he or she would use to solve it. QUESTIONS- SET1 Menu Math: Grades 4-5 © Martin Lee & Marcia Miller, Scholastic Teaching Resources
How do you use menus in a lesson plan?
Use any or all of the questions that follow each menu. Make up similar questions, or invite students to do so. Duplicate the order form on page 58 so that students can record their orders or pretend to wait on classmates. Use the menus as class work, homework, or project work.
How can I help students understand the information in the menu?
●Help students understand the information in the menu. Guide them to grasp, for example, that there are 36 different ways to have awrap (as is, deep fried, or enchilada style). Discuss that an enchilada-style wrap has cheese melted on top and comes covered with sauce. ●Review how to find the number of possible outcomes, as needed.
Why teach math with menu management?
As students interpret and manipulate the data presented in the menus, they will extend their mathematical under- standing, communicate mathematically, and develop positive attitudes toward applying math in the real world. Students will fill out order forms.
Favorite Foods
In this worksheet, students will solve word problems related to foods they love: hot dogs, french fries, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, soda, ice cream cones, and milkshakes.
Calculating Change
This printable provides similar problems to those in worksheet No. 1. Students will also answer questions such as: "Ellen purchases an ice cream cone, an order of french fries, and a hamburger. If she had $10.00, how much money will she have left?" Use problems like these to help students learn and understand the concept of change.
Calculating Total Cost
On this worksheet, students will get more practice in menu math with problems such as: "If David wanted to buy a milkshake and a taco, how much would it cost him?" and "If Michele wanted to buy a hamburger and a milkshake, how much money would she need?" These kinds of problems help students with reading skills—they have to read the menu items and questions before they can solve the problems—as well as basic math skills..
More Total Cost Practice
In this worksheet, students continue to identify items and prices, and then solve problems such as: "What are the total cost of a cola and an order of french fries?" This provides a great opportunity to review the important math term, "total," with students. Explain that finding a total requires adding two or more numbers .
Adding Tax
In this worksheet, students continue to practice menu problems and list their answers in the provided blank spaces. The worksheet also throws in a few challenging questions such as: "What is the total cost of an order of French-fries?" The cost, of course, would be $1.40 without tax.
Why Do Some Things Cost More Than Others?
In this worksheet, students solve such menu math problems as: "Paul wants to buy a deluxe cheeseburger, a hamburger, and a pizza slice. How much money will he need?" Use questions like these to spark a discussion about menu items.
Practice With Play Money
Students continue to work out basic menu math problems and fill their answers in the provided blank spaces. Enhance the lesson by using real money of fake money (which you can purchase at most discount stores).
