Math and Wegmans a Fun Combination


Today in my math class we used the weekly advertisement from Wegmans grocery store (if you have never been the best way to describe it is like Disney World, but for groceries) to work on our estimation and addition skills. The kids were given a budget ($20, $50, and $100) and had to use estimation to determine if they were able to buy all they wanted. After they checked their estimation they then had to come up with an actual number using the prices.

It was a fun and interesting way for the kids to have a real world experience while working on some math!
