Instructional Ideas
- Have class members bring in takeout menus from local restaurants, or have them find the menus online, to answer the same questions
- Place learners into small groups or pairs to complete different task cards and word problems, then switch cards
Classroom Considerations

- May require money manipulatives based on age math level of class members
Pros
- Provides an answer key for the word problems
- Promotes real-world application of math concepts
Cons
