What educators are saying
I'm using this with a student I tutor privately. Found it very effective and engaging! Real-world budgeting was very eye opening for her.
I used this in my math support class and it took us a couple weeks of working through problems. It was a great way for them to understand what it would cost in real life, and what actually budgeting for a vacation would look like. I will definitely reuse this next year.

Description
Great project that allows students to plan their dream vacation.
The students:
- Get a brief introduction on shortcuts with finding percentages
- Plan it out,
- Find overall expense
- Determine their income
- Examine monthly expenses
- Budget for the vacation.
Throughout the project, they answer questions, research online, and interview someone. Students work at their own pace!
They work heavily with
- Percentages: discount, tax, gratuity, commission, ratios, parts of whole.
- They also substitute into an equation
- Create a circle graph
- Use logic to solve problems that pertain to their own life.

CCSS6.EE.A.2c
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s³ and A = 6 s² to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2.
CCSS6.EE.B.6
Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.
CCSS7.EE.B.4
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
CCSS6.RP.A.3c
Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.
CCSS7.RP.A.2c
Represent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost 𝘵 is proportional to the number 𝘯 of items purchased at a constant price 𝘱, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as 𝘵 = 𝘱𝘯.
