Tipping is becoming more and more common and the amount you are expected to tip is increasing too. Make sure your students understand what tipping is and how to calculate a tip- useful life skills! Here’s a ready-to-print real-life percent math lesson for middle school students (in grades 6-9) or special education or life skills classes in a high school setting. Teach your class all about tipping culture and tips in both Canada and the United States. Why do people tip or give certain people a gratuity? What places do we tip? What places do we not? Has tipping been increasing recently ("tip-flation")? Show students how the math skills and concepts that they have been learning in class (percentages, decimals, division, fractions) can be useful in their everyday lives! How to Use: 1. The first page is a handout that you complete with your students (with fill-in-the-blanks) to teach them the ins and outs of tipping: where and when you do it, etc. 2. The second page teaches students two simple methods of calculating tips (using well-known percentage benchmarks OR multiplying the price by a percentage written in decimal form). Encourage your students to determine a third method they could use. 3. After that, there are 7 practice word problems of realistic tipping situations that your students can complete. From tipping for a meal to paying at a salon, or even calculating tax AND tip together, your students will get a lot of real-life practice completing these problems in small groups or own their own. 4. To finish, you can have a class discussion about tipping in general and what your students think about our system. What's Included: 6 Page PDF - Teacher Instructions - Handout with Fill-in-the-Blanks about Tipping - 3-Page Worksheet and Written Reflection - COMPLETE ANSWER KEY INCLUDED If you want more practice working with tips try these two products: Fractions for Calculating Taxes, Tips and Sales Percents for Calculating Taxes, Tips, and Sales

This 43-page digital PDF contains a facilitator's guide, theory, student workbook, and teacher resources, all rolled into one. Developed with the principles of neuroscience, psychology, and the Seasonal Cyclicality Model (SCM), this social and emotional learning program for kids takes students on a series of fun, gamified, and micro-level missions aligned with Autumn (self-awareness), Winter (social observation), Spring (social skills), and Summer (responsible decision-making). This social and emotional learning program for kids, tweens, and pre-teens is perfect for parents, teachers, and counselors who want to develop the cognitive empathy, emotional intelligence, and growth mindset of middle school students. A must-have for middle school emotional intelligence development, bullying prevention, and classroom community building. Instant download. Keywords: SEL curriculum for 4th to 7th grade, empathy workbook for middle school, social and emotional learning activities, tween emotional intelligence development, neuroscience-based SEL program. Why Parents/Schools Love It: Neuroscience-Based: Fuses the power of brain science with the ease of using Micro-Missions to develop empathy as a "muscle" that grows with repetition, creating a lifelong tool for children without overwhelming them. Seasonal Format: Utilizes the power of seasonal themes and activities to eliminate social anxiety issues with a "game" approach to SEL that integrates easily into the school year or home schedule. Comprehensive Resources Included: Provides facilitator guides, student worksheets, case studies, images, and teacher keys in one convenient PDF format for quick and effective implementation with proven results such as improved conflict resolution and self-regulation.

Attention, business educators! It is no surprise that business means people. Specifically, your customers. This lesson, "Customers and Competition", explores the centers of profit that a business has and how it can better cater to them. It also explores the competition that a company faces, and how customers go about their comparison shopping. This unit includes 5 main topics: Customer Segmentation and Targeting: Look at how your customer's segment into different groups, and how they can be targeted more effectively. A Company’s Ideal Customer: Who exactly is your company looking to attract? This question can and should dictate many of the decisions that your company makes. Competitive Analysis: As your students think about the alternatives to a business, how does a company stack up? How does Lyft compare to Uber? How is McDonald's truly different than Burger King? This chapter explores that competitive analysis. Customer Relationship Management (CRM): One of the more taxing but crucial aspects of business is managing your customer base. Look at some systems designed to do that. Building a Unique Value Proposition: What sets a company apart? That is the UVP. In this chapter students will explore what distinguishes a good UVP, and how to make one. This teaching package includes many great resources – from an engaging class slidedeck, to useful embedded videos, a corresponding video worksheet and answer key, and student-friendly follow-along notes.
