Who knew math could be so tasty!

Sixth grade math classes recently designed and “opened” a holiday cookie shop. 

Students were put into groups of three and given a budget of $2,000 to get the store up and running. They had to work together as business partners to determine the design and mathematic elements of their businesses, including the shop’s name, business partner roles, quantities of ingredients to purchase for the shop and how much to charge for their cookies, for example.

“I thought the project would be a great way for the students to practice the skills of working with fractions and decimals in multiplication and division using real-world experience,” said their teacher Mrs. Sutelan. “The kids really did enjoy doing the project.”
