Functional Math at Country Meadows
This morning, we took a class trip to Country Meadows Restaurant in Elizabethtown. In math, we have been working through our community-based instruction curriculum called "Stepping Out." The current concept is on how to calculate sales tax as well as tip when you go to a restaurant that provides table service. Everyone did a great job figuring out what their total bill would be (with tax and tip) as well as figuring out what bills to pay with and whether or not to wait for change. We had good conversation at the table about what we did over the weekend and what we had going on for the upcoming week. We were all smiles :) What a great way to start the week! What was your favorite part about going out to breakfast? What other community trips could we take to practice the math skills we have been discussing?
