Math and Thanksgiving Dinner

The sixth grade math students planned, shopped, and prepared the grocery lists for a Thanksgiving dinner.  Each student figured out the cost of a turkey dinner for the number of family and friends with whom they celebrate on Thanksgiving.  To do so, they studied the grocery store ads and then calculated the cost per person for a delicious dinner.

 Closely studying the ads, the sixth graders put math into a real-world context.
