Topic: Problem Solving
Grade level: 1 - ?
- Objective:
Let's Go Shopping!
The students will create a list of clothing that is necessary
to buy in order to be fully dressed. They will be calculating
how much they spend, staying at or below the designated amount.
The students will also calculate how much change they should receive
if any. By doing these things, the students will actively be involved
in problem solving, decision making, and use of mathematical concepts.
Anticipatory Set:
Teacher could wear old clothes, or clothes that are much too big
or small, or simply state that it is time to buy new clothing.
Start by asking a question such as "If I am going shopping,
what things do you think are necessary for me to buy?"
Concept development /activity: To be done in groups
1. Organize students into groups if not already done.
2. For each group, a list of items of clothing with prices should
be on the table.
3. Teacher should set a total price limit for the shopping spree
and write it so that it may be
seen be everyone.
4. Each group should be given paper money divided into 1s, 5s,
10s, and 20s totaling the
set price limit.
5. In each group, one person should be the designated cashier
who also has paper money
in order to give change.
6. Students will collaborate a list of clothing that they wish
to purchase, total cost, and
amount of change if any.
7. The cashier will check the work, agree or disagree, give the
change, or talk about where
mistakes may have been made.
Practice:
Students should be allowed to take turns being the cashier, and
being in the group that collaborates the list of clothing. The
teacher should offer different lists with different items, prices,
etc., so that each experience is new.
Closure:
Allow students to share the different things that they bought,
how much they spent, how much change they received, etc.
