In math we have begun solving what Mrs. M and I call "bake shop" problems. These problems are often multi step and require us to apply our knowledge and understanding of money to higher level questions. The great thing about these questions is that they are very authentic too. They are problems that will arise in the real world. In fact, just yesterday at Walmart, I had $20 in my wallet and needed three items. I had to calculate whether I had enough money or would need to use my debit card. This was exactly what todays lesson was all about.
I have attached an example of a bake shop problem...that may also be similar to a pop quiz (wink wink)
