Catering a Feast - An Open-Ended Math Project {Distance Learning}


Halloween rushed by, Thanksgiving is almost here, and the weeks before Christmas promise to come at me just as fast! I like to have holiday themed activities in my classroom, but sometimes it seems my kids can't finish one activity before the next holiday is upon us.

This resource is actually a combination of both Thanksgiving & Christmas. The premise is that your students have their own catering business and a bunch of clients all need menus for their holiday gatherings - both holidays are included. If you wish to remove one of the holidays, you only need to delete those slides. All word problems are editable. To increase or decrease the difficulty, you can change the number of people or budget for each gathering.
