100th day of school - no prep money/research activity
Hi!This is a simple, straightforward mini-research project for upper-level elementary students. I found most 100th day of school activities were geared toward younger learners. This activity provides a framework (and an opportunity for class discussion) to discuss minimum wage, the value of a dollar, and how far 100 dollars will get you in terms of what students typically want to buy. Students research the prices of products they would like to buy and use decimal addition and money sense to come

Business Savvy with Decimals
This is a project that lasts as long as you want it to... I usually give my students a good 2 weeks of math period time (or extra time) to complete their business idea. This does also require a teacher or someone to "shop" at their businesses when they are ready. Then, on the last day, students get to "shop" at each others' businesses. Every year this has been a huge success. Have fun!!!

I do this on Google Slides and share it with the class via Google Classroom. If you do not use Classroom, you can still upload to your Google Drive, share a view only link with the kids, and have them click "file" then "make a copy" so that they have their own copy. I usually introduce one slide a day on a class example slide. This project involves the kids finding out what possible careers they are interested in and good at, and then researching salary, prices of cars, homes or apartments, util
