Related to Making Purchases

Through the use of real-life story-problem scenarios, students get plenty of practice

with analyzing the information in word problems and applying the correct math operations to solve the problems.

Consumer Math includes four pages of colorful, realistic images, photos, and information that create a sale flyer for a particular store. The corresponding word problems were designed to develop math proficiency and to help students understand why mastery of essential math skills is so important to success in the real world.

Advertisements include sale flyers for four different stores: Winston Supply Depot, East Valley Drugstore, Nature’s Best Farmer’s Market, Hansen’s Sport Shop

Questions

Students are asked to use the four colorful pages for each sale flyer to find the information they need in order to solve the math word problems. When solving a problem, students may need to use the answer from another problem on the same page. Problems progress in difficulty as students work through the questions for each menu.

The first activity page introduces students to the contents of the sale flyer by asking comprehension questions. Answering these questions will familiarize students with the information they will need to solve the word problems

Students will solve word problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as well as money, time, measurement, percents, decimals, and fractions.
