Open for Business

In Tampa math, students learned how to add and subtract money with decimal amounts.  Students were tasked with forming their own stores to sell merchandise. For their stores, students decided what items they were going to sell, how much each item would cost, how they would tag the item, and how they would collect and keep track of the money.

 

 

Students received an allowance to shop stores, and

they bought items from their fellow classmates. 

 

With the first part of the project complete, students will analyze in a report what they sold, how they priced the items, how decimals were used to keep track of their sales, and how they used decimals to run their stores.   It truly was a great time in the 4^th grade micro-economy.
