[Lesson Plan] Menu Math for Grades 3-6

Real-world-application learning is where learning takes real flight! We're so proud when our students master a concept, but even more proud when they can apply it to their everyday lives.

In this lesson plan, designed for students in grades 3-6 and created in partnership with Cathy Henry, educator and founder of The Curriculum Corner and Free Word Work, students will study, plan, and create their own restaurant menus based on their own family foods and cultural traditions - plus create and solve multi-step math problems in "running" their restaurant. They will use creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills - making this a very useful interdisciplinary activity!

In this lesson plan, you can use menu examples from the community, template menus from the printable pack, or online menus to study for students to generate ideas. Through the use of anchor charts, problem cards, worksheets, and project pages, your students will have so much fun developing ownership of their restaurant and sharing personal stories about their chosen foods with the class!
