McDole's 1st Grade Restaurants!

First graders at Mcdole worked diligently in math to add two and three addends in word problems. (1.OA.1 and 1.OA.2) They even got to add money! Students solved problems that involved a menu of items to buy. 

To help practice this skill, the students in Miss Gianakakos' math class opened their own restaurants! In small groups, students created their very own restaurants. They worked together to give their restaurant a name and create a menu with 5 items and their prices. The groups used the PicCollage app to create their menu together. 

                    

Students then invited their first grade friends from other math classes to come to their restaurant openings. Students ordered food and both the restaurant owners and the customers calculated the totals for their orders. They not only got to practice their math skills, but they also experienced real life situations. Way to go 1st graders!
