The house of Archimedes is currently finishing up a project where students were building a budget for a business that would be selling at an outdoor community market day. Each business was loaned $350 for start-up costs. They got to choose what they wanted to buy with that money. We worked with place value and rounding through out the project. They also saw the associative property for addition in action as we looked at the different ways 2 businesses used their money. Next, they will be asked what they will sell and how they will decide how much to charge.
Later this week, we will continue practice on place value and rounding where they will be writing word problems that are more appropriate for rounding and those more appropriate for precise computations.
