Sixth grade math students have started to work with decimals this week. Their first decimal task was to work together with a group to plan a dinner party for 8 people with a budget of $50.00. Students used a recent grocery store advertiser to plan their meals – which had to include a main dish, two side dishes and a dessert. Pictured are sixth grade students looking through the many choices in the ad to make their selections and begin calculating their total costs.
