Life Skills - Shopping - Coupons - Money - GOOGLE - Grocery Store - Unit Six

Knowing how to use coupons in a store is an important life skill for many students to master. With this activity, you will get access to two differentiated levels of worksheets where students practice calculating the price of items after using a coupon.

This activity is specifically formatted to be used with Google Drive and is compatible with Google Classroom. Google Drive is an amazing resource that many educators are now using as an interface to support 1:1 digital instruction in the classroom. I pair it up with Google Classroom (a free website) that allows me to digitally send each student in my class a copy of the worksheets that they later submit to me for grading. With this lesson, students get to type their answers directly onto the digital worksheet. It is an amazing paper-free process and the kids LOVE working on these worksheets on the computer.

In version one, students will look at a coupon and calculate the final cost of an item (ex: original price $3.89, coupon is $1.50 off) by using subtraction. Version two is a little bit more difficult and has students calculate the price for things like "2 for $5" or "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" deals. This activity requires NO PREP and is an excellent way to integrate real world reading and math skills into daily instruction.
