Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a functional math station or whole-class warm-up in a life skills block, roughly 20 to 30 minutes, so students see money math applied to a real-world task like ordering a meal.
- Discussion question: If you have $10, which items could you order without going over, and how did you check your total?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: pre-read the menu aloud, circle the item names and prices together, and use play money or a number line to add two prices at a time.
- Extension for advanced students: have them plan a full meal for two people within a set budget, then calculate the change from a $20 bill.
- Estimated time is about 5 to 10 minutes per level, so the three levels fit comfortably within a single class period if needed.
