Wednesday

• Students are put into pre-selected groups where
  they each receive restaurant menus and blank
  restaurant bills.

• Within the groups, each student will decide
  what he/she would like to order. The groups will
  fill out the bill appropriately according to what
  each member of the group would like to order.

• The groups will have to work cooperatively to
  answer specific questions about their bill.
• What would the total bill be if the tax on the
  food was 5 and gratuity is 15?
• How much would each member of your group have to
  pay if the bill was split equally among all of
  you?

• Students will be assigned a category of
  addition/subtraction or multiplication/division
  of decimals and percents. They will work
  individually creating a few word problems
  involving their assigned topic.

• In the same groups, students will work together
  to create word problems combining each members
  ideas.

• They will also be responsible for finding the
  answers to each of their problems.

• Students will be chosen at random to present
  their bill and questions/solutions they created

Sample Questions

• How much change would you get if you bought two
  egg rolls and pork fried rice and gave 10?

• If the bill came to 20 and there was a 5 tax
  how much would the total bill be?

• If you ordered Curry Chicken and Wonton soup and
  there was a 5 tax and 10 gratuity, how much
  would the bill be? If you paid with 20 how much
  change should you receive?

Evaluation

• As a quiz, students will have to answer questions
  based on a pizza menu.

• If there are 20 students in the class, and each
  student eats two slices of pizza, how many
  pizzas should be ordered?
• How much would it cost? (not including tax or
  gratuity)
• How much should be given for a tip?
• If tax is 5 and gratuity is 10 how much would
  the total bill be?
• How much should each member of the class pay?

As a reward for good test scores, a pizza lunch
will be provided
