6.NS.3 Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
This Thanksgiving Menu Math activity contains two story problems. Each involves multiplying and dividing decimals. Students will need to calculate the cost of groceries for a Thanksgiving feast. Once they have found the cost of each item, they will need to add them together to find the total cost of groceries. From there, they will need to use division of decimals to find out the cost per person for a Thanksgiving dinner.
The second story problem also contains an enrichment activity in which students will need to apply coupons to the grocery list to find out a revised total cost of groceries, as well as the cost per person.
All digital activities are in Google Slides.
