Here's How the Differentiation Works:
Three Menus:
The menus are identical in dishes but differ in prices from easiest to more complex.
- Thanksgiving Café: whole dollar amounts only
- Harvest Haven: dollars and change in multiples of 25 (e.g., $3.25)
- Pumpkin Pie Plaza: dollars and all types of change (e.g., $3.37)
All the cards can be used with each menu, lending them to 3 levels of difficulty.
The answer key has answers for all 3 menus for each card.
- Cards 1-24 --Finding the price of 1 item off the menu
- Cards 25-48 --Adding the price of 2 items off the menu
- Cards 25A-48A --Same questions as Cards 25-48 but with a graphic organizer
- Cards 49-72 --Finding the price of 1 item off the menu with picture supports.
Versatile to Use:
- Perfect for independent work, center work, or even large groups using a document camera for the menus.
- These cards can also be used with the table of prices at the end of the packet to provide a price bank so that the students who cannot write their answers could Velcro the matching price to the task card itself.
- Price cards for use with cards 49-72
