Are you looking for a fun way to practice multiplication, subtraction, and addition with decimals? Then look no further! This is an engaging activity for all students. This is a fun math project to practice multiplication with decimals. Students will get to put their math skills into practice in a real life situation. They will create a mock cotton candy stand where they will have to be in charge of buying their product, figuring out how much each customer owes, and how much they will profit. This activity lets each student set up their own cotton candy stand, so all their answers may differ. At the end of the activity students will determine if their cotton candy stand was successful, whether they made a big enough profit to do it again.

This activity has students practice multiplying, dividing, and subtracting numbers with decimals.

What's included:

• A letter to the teacher explaining the task.
• A letter to the students (business owner) explaining their task.
• A page for students to create their own sign for their shop.
• The product page, where students will pick what products they will buy.
• Hourly sales page (There are two options) One will break it down for each step and there is another page that is more challenging for your higher math students to stretch their thinking and not lay out each step explicitly.
• A total sales sheet with reflection questions.
• A social media post for students to create.

The best part? Students have autonomy over their own cotton candy stand. Let them have the reins of their learning. It allows for math practice and a little creativity.

Get creative in the classroom and have your students apply real world math. Show them where they might use multiplication, addition, and subtraction of decimals. Get rid of the boring old math worksheets and let your students create their own little business.

What other teachers are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Anaida W. says, "Fantastic math project! Engaging and full of great questions for students. Thanks."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐Just Another Smith says, "Oh my! I love this activity! It was perfect for basic arithmetic reinforcement for my students. I loved that the activity has a mix of fixed tasks but also some open ended elements so that the students had some choice and creativity. I really enjoy giving my students real-world tasks and felt like this was right at their level. The instructions were clear and there were also some choices for me with built in differentiation."

These are ready to use, just print them out and get started. This could be a great lesson to leave for a substitute as it is no prep!

This is a simple project, but it adds in real life scenario of what the cost is going out to eat. Students end up shocked at the cost of going out to eat! The students pick out a restaurant of their choice (can download the menu offline), "go out to eat" with three other family members, order, determine cost, sales tax and tip for a total of going out to eat for 4 people. This could be a group project with four students going out to eat and seeing what the cost is for each. Either way, it shows their decimal skills with basic math operations and gives them a new appreciation of going out to eat!

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise converting recurring decimals as fractions from simple ones such as 0.999 (recurring) through to more complicated ones such as 0.7125252525 (recurring). Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder. Students should be expected to not use a calculator.

Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:

• Have students race to connect the cards.
• Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
• Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
• Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.
  For an advanced start, begin on page two of the record sheet (the first card number is given).
