Life Studies, Home Economics, Special Resources, Life Skills, Math, Multiplication, Multiplication and Division, Percentages, Money, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
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

Financial Literacy: My Party Budget- Decimals and Percentages Application
Life Studies, Finance, Home Economics, Math, Percentages, Decimals, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Projects
Financial Literacy: My Party Budget- Decimals and Percentages Application Unlock mathematics’ real-world influence with this practical math project for students in grades 5-8. This tool allows students to sharpen their intermediate math skills, particularly applying percentage calculations and decimal operations to manage a budget consciously - a vital lesson in financial literacy. This versatile resource is ideal for grades 5 to 8 classrooms as well as high school special education environments where budgeting practice complements life skills training. How to Use: Give each student a party budget. You can choose to give everyone the same budget, OR this is a great way to differentiate. Give students with emerging understanding a budget of $100 (which is easy to work with) and give students who need a challenge a budget such as $240, which will result in more complex calculations. This will also stimulate discussions about budgeting in general and the challenge of planning with less money. Students need to partition their hypothetical party budget across varied cost categories like food, decorations and entertainment by employing basic percent in decimal form and understanding addition and multiplication of decimals. For example, they might decide to spend 50% of their budget on food because that is their favourite part of a party. They will calculate 50% of their total budget. This skill application brings relevance to numbers through experiential learning. You can decide if students should complete calculations by hand or if using a calculator is allowed. Also, a complete sample answer key is included that you can show to your students to demonstrate the task. Finally, students complete shopping research and choose items online or in store flyers. This fosters strategic thinking when managing limited resources. You can have a discussion about making tradeoffs (for example, choosing frozen pizza instead of fresh to have extra money for a party activity OR inviting fewer guests to have more money for party favours per person). What's Included: A total of 8 pages in PDF Format Title Page Teacher Instructions 3 Page Student Worksheets 3 Page Sample Answer Key

Financial Literacy: Compound Interest
Life Studies, Math, Decimals, Money, Finance, Home Economics, Business, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities
This high school financial literacy lesson will show students why compound interest is so helpful to investors! The first page walks students through how to calculate compound interest step-by-step (year-by-year). Students need a basic understanding of writing percent as a decimal and multiplying to find the "percent of" a number. Students will be given an initial investment and a yearly interest rate. Each student in the class can have different values so they have to do their own work and so comparisons can be made. This allows for easy differentiation as well- give students who are struggling an easier interest rate (10%, 1%) and students who need a challenge a trickier one (6%, 4.5%) Students carefully calculate the amount of compound interest they would earn over ten years. They check their work using the compound interest formula. Then they can use the formula to calculate compound interest for longer periods of time. Your class can compare their results. I would recommend having a class discussion (prompt questions are included). Make sure to point out how compound interest is great for investing and saving and terrible for borrowing money. It works against you when you have a loan. Finally, students reflect on their learning by writing a paragraph after the lesson, and hopefully leave class wanting to start a saving account! This step-by-step lesson clearly shows students how compound interest works. They get practice doing calculations with precents written as decimals, exponents, and order of operations. It is the kind of math lesson that will stay with students long after the year is complete! Also check out my Financial Literacy Interest Rates: Lending and Borrowing Money Lesson!

Math Journal: Experimental Probability with Two Independent Events
ELA, Math, Percentages, Fractions, Statistics, Writing, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities
Math Journal: Experimental Probability with Two Independent Events This resource serves as a helpful teaching tool for educators focusing on the concepts of experimental probability and theoretical probability of two independent events in middle school mathematics. It offers an engaging math journal entry exercise that allows students to explain their mathematical thinking in pictures, numbers, diagrams, and words. How to Use: Students are given the following question: You have a six-sided die and a penny. If you roll the die twice and flip the penny twice, which is more likely: to get two sixes on the die or two heads from the penny? Explain your thinking using pictures, numbers, and words. Can you figure out the percentage chance of each event happening? Give students dice, coins, and mini whiteboards to work with so they can start to test out their ideas and theories. Encourage students to tackle the penny first as there are fewer results when flipping two coins. Suggest that students work together in pairs or small groups and use a table or chart to record the experimental options that could occur. You may want to start by teaching a mini-lesson about the probability of two independent events: that one multiplies the probability of each event to determine the probability of BOTH events. Grades to Use With This resource is ideal for use with students in grades 5-9 but can also be used as special education material or enrichment content for gifted children aged between grades 4-6. Finally, it could be used in a high school special education classroom. What's Included: This two page PDF is ready to print and go!

Everyone is talking about rising interest rates these days. But why does it matter? Should our students learn about this? Yes! Here's a complete ready-to-go lesson for high school students in math class, life skills, home economics, or career and personal planning. It will teach them all about buying a home, getting a mortgage, and how mortgage payments are calculated using interest rates. 1) First, there is a handout explaining all the relevant home-buying vocabulary: from down payment and mortgage to interest and principal. There is a complete handout or a fill-in-the-blanks version: you choose what is best for your students! 2) Then, there is a second sheet with a sample scenario of what happens when interest rates rise and people have to renew their mortgage. This clearly shows, step by step, how mortgage payments can rise by hundreds or thousands of dollars even if you live in the exact same place. This handout also has completed or fill-in-the-blank versions for you to pick from. 3) Next, there is a matching worksheet where students match all the home buying words to their definitions. 4) Finally, there is a math worksheet for students to complete. It has 10 questions for students to calculate themselves about down payments, mortgage payments and rising interest rates. Math skills required are multiplying and dividing with numbers up to 6 digits and working with percents written as a decimal. For example calculating the interest payment on a $300,000 mortgage at 3% would be done: 300,000 x 0.03 All the questions are designed to have round numbers and simply calculations whenever possible. Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed for high school students in grades 8-12: from special education to regular home economics classes.

6th Grade Math: Algebra Inequality Matching Game
Algebra, Math, Number Lines, Grade 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Games
Teaching your students about how to write and evaluate inequalities in algebra can sometimes end up being a bit dry. Try adding this game to your algebra unit to bring a little movement and collaboration to your classroom. It's a super simple game : just print the cards and cut them out. There are 32 cards in 16 pairs. Deal one card to each student in your class. They should spend half a minute looking at their card and thinking of other ways it could be represented. For example, if they have a number line: what inequality does it show? If they have an inequality, could it be simplified? Then, all the students get up and move around the room (SILENTLY!). They can use gestures while looking at each others' cards and trying to find their match. Pairs move to the side of the room until everyone is matched up. It's that simple! Of course, you could also use these cards for a standard memory game where you flip two cards at a time and try to find matches. I have also included a second set of cards that have pairs of fractions and decimals (for example 1/20 and 0.05). Grades to Use With: These cards are designed to target the standard 6EE.B.8 in grade six classrooms, but they could also be an excellent quick review in grades 7 and 8!

Geometry Project: Park Design with Area, Perimeter, and Volume (with Budgeting!)
Math, Decimals, Multiplication and Division, Division, Money, Geometry, Measurements, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Projects
This project allows students to apply their knowledge of perimeter, area, volume, and decimal calculations to a realistic and creative situation. They are tasked with designing a new park that includes areas for swimming, playing (skate park, playground, and grass), eating, and walking. They use their knowledge of perimeter when considering the size and shape of their park and the amount of fencing required. Every student is assigned the same perimeter. This constraint ensures your students can accurately calculate perimeter, it makes some of the marking easier for you, and it will help stimulate a discussion about the relationship between perimeter and area. Although all the perimeters are the same, the areas of your students' parks can be vastly different depending on the shape chosen! They use their knowledge of area when dividing the park up into sections for different activities. An understanding of volume is used when considering filling the pool. Finally, they use their knowledge of decimal calculations when determining the final price of the entire project. Each different section has a different cost (unit rate). For example, paths are much cheaper than a playground, and grassy areas cost less than a swimming pool. I asked my students to calculate by hand, but you could allow yours to use a calculator as well. This project requires students to use creative and logical thinking skills, organization, careful calculating methods, and neat drawing/colouring. It is a great project to use as a summative assessment or to show parents at conferences. Grades to Use With: This math project could work in grades 4-8 in regular math classes. It could also be used in high school special education classes.

Absolute Value Worksheets: Real World 6th Grade Math 6.NS.C.7.C
Math, Number Lines, Numbers, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
Absolute Value can be a tricky topic to teach. It seems so easy and simple, but students actually need a strong, conceptual understanding of it for later years in middle school and high school math, so it definitely can't be skipped or glossed over! Here's a ready-to-go lesson all about absolute value for students in 6th grade. It is designed to meet standard CCSS 6.NS.C.7.c This lesson could also be a great review for students in grades 7 or 8 or could even be used in high school special education classrooms. First, there is a simple handout that explains what absolute value is using an easy, visual analogy: a dart board. Then, there are two pages of real-world questions for students to approach using an understanding of absolute value. From bank accounts, to elevation, to temperatures, to golf games, we actually use absolute value regularly in our number system without even noticing it! These questions require students to use number lines, integers, and absolute value proficiently. Students will notice how depending on the question, you may need to use an integer or an absolute value. They will start to see how absolute value can be helpful when calculating the difference between two numbers on a number line. A complete answer key is also included!
