This resource is designed to expose students to the life skill of calculating tips when going out to eat or receive a service that requires a tip (Ex. barber, nail salon). Students will read sales receipts, calculate the subtotal of a meal or service, calculate the tip and find the total. In some cases students will be asked to calculate a split bill. On some worksheets, students will be asked to read an example scenario and determine if the guests tipped to much, too little or the correct and determine the correct tip and subtotal

If students are not ready for coins, encourage them to use the dollar up strategy.

How to Use this Resource:

You don't need to use all 80 cards at once!

Use them as REVIEW

Use them as a CLASSROOM STARTER

Use them for EARLY FINISHERS

They can be used over and over again because mental math should be practiced on a consistent basis

How Does this Look?

1. Whole Class: Read task cards aloud to students ONE STEP AT A TIME, and they answer on whiteboards or the recording sheet provided. This allows everyone to have 'think time'

2. Small Groups: Working with a small group, you can read task cards aloud to your students. They can also work together which encourages collaboration and teamwork

3. Partner Work: Students can pair up and read a task card to their partner. Their partner can answer on a whiteboard or the recording sheet provided

4. Independent: Have students work on one set at a time. This is great for early finishers

Benefits

- Opportunities for DIFFERENTIATION: Students can work on any of the 5 sets. Some are more difficult concepts than others. Students may need more practice in one area

- Consistent practice will improve math fact fluency and skills

- Your students will become more comfortable and feel more confident in their own abilities

Who Should Use These?

- Middle school students would benefit the most from this product

- Grades 5, 6, 7, 8
