Grocery Store Explorations! Enjoy the air condition on a hot summer day and take some extra time at the grocery store just to do math. Use the scales in the produce department. Discuss unit rates and do price comparisons on products of different sizes. Keep a mental estimated total. See who comes closest to the actual total at checkout! Talk about decimals and money. Calculate change when using cash. Combine cooking and shopping by planning a meal or party, estimating the costs, and doing the shopping! So many possibilities for bringing math to life!
