Mrs. Mace's 5th grade math classes have been learning about decimals and multiplication. To teach students how these math concepts apply in real life Mrs. Mace came up with the following virtual shopping experience right in her classroom. Students were given a shopping list from the SmartBoard in the classroom and which they had to choose six items from with different quantities. They then had to look up the items, get prices and work the magical math. As can been seen in the pictures, student had fun and now understand how the math they have been learning can be used in everyday life.
