Students plot craft designs, build tables and graph earnings for two sellers. Comparing the results shows how coordinate graphs and number patterns can help answer a practical money question.

Product description

From the author

This engaging math project for students in grades 5 and 6 has several components, and it will help your students see how the math skills they learn in the classroom can be used in real-life situations! It is a great lesson to incorporate some simple financial literacy into your math curriculum too!

How to Use:

1) Students will start by plotting ordered pairs on a coordinate plane to create the designs of two students who are making items for a craft sale. If graphed correctly, they will make a rectangle and an octagon.

2) Next, they will complete a worksheet that includes a table of values to show the sales revenue of one of the craft sale participants. They will graph this data.

3) Then, students complete the same tasks (finishing a table of values and graphing the information) for the second seller.

4) Finally, students will compare the total sales of the two sellers to determine who made more money. There are a variety of ways students can find the final answer from multiplying with decimal amounts to using their tables or graphs.

Complete answer key included

This lesson was created to target two specific 5th Grade Math Common Core Learning Standards:

  • Geometry A.2: Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane.

  • Operations and Algebraic Thinking B.3: Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Form ordered pairs from the two patterns and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane

  • It could also be implemented in a 6th grade classroom during a Ratio and Proportional Relations unit or in a middle school special education classroom.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How can I support the different parts of the project?

Review plotting in the first quadrant before the design task, then model reading a table and choosing graph scales. The teacher notes identify which table and graph are more challenging.

Must students use one method for the final comparison?

No. The guidance welcomes comparing methods, including calculations, tables and graphs. Ask students to explain how their method supports the result.
