Students at Traphagen use math to plan menu for party

Math is everywhere, even when you’re throwing a party! Rebecca Challop’s fifth-grade students at Traphagen School were engaged in a collaborative math lesson last week in which they created a party menu using an itemized list of party supplies. Students applied multiple math operations to develop and manage a budget while working together to make decisions. Throughout the activity, they practiced collaboration by compromising, justifying their choices, and explaining the mathematical reasoning behind their decisions.
