Food Truck Math Bundle

This resource is great to use as an end of the year culminating math project or as an extension for small groups. I have included FOUR different versions of this product so that it is accessible to multiple levels of learners. One version fits best with the fourth grade math standards and another with the fifth grade math standards. In the sixth grade section, version 1 is of the sixth grade standards, and version 2 will challenge students with the sixth grade standards.

During the first part of the unit, students will create business plans, logos, slogans and even menus. They can do this through printed packets or through an editable Google Slides template.

Once students have completed the earlier steps, they will design their food trucks and lots. After all of this is done, they can open for business. When I have done this with my class, I split them in half and have one half run their food trucks while the other half “orders their food.”

For ordering purposes, each student will receive one sheet of the food truck bucks to use and spend at their classmates’ food trucks. Since many of their totals will turn out to be decimals, instruct the food truck owners to round to the nearest whole dollar and calculate change accordingly, then take it as their tip!

To keep the students who are ordering accountable and engaged, I have provided an Order Trackingsheet for each of them to track their expenditures.
