This unit provides strong mathematics learning experiences in a real-world context. As the unit opens, the Rosada family starts a Mexican restaurant that features tostados (a combination of ingredients on a tortilla base). The family asks students for help as they plan the menu, determine different combinations of ingredients, analyze costs, set prices, expand into combination plates, and figure out the best ways to arrange tables and chairs in a new location. Concepts: combinations, number sense, data organization, data analysis, spatial sense, area, perimeter, range, mean, mode, computation, estimation, money sense. | |
