La papeleria school shopping activity

La papelería school shopping activity

Carmen is about to start the school year. She needs to buy school supplies including a new backpack. Her parents have given her $55 only and she cannot ask for any more money. Carmen is looking at two office supply stores in her town and comparing prices on school supplies she will need. Carmen is taking 6 classes. Compare the prices of the two stores below and for each class, write 2 school supplies that Carmen would need for that class, the quantity, name of the store, and the amount. Also, Carmen will be paying 5 percent sales tax. It is perfectly acceptable to spend less than $55 and have money left over.

Students will be given a list of items sold at two different stores and their prices. A template for school supplies, where to buy, quantity needed, and the amount is also provided for each of the 6 classes.

Students can do this activity individually or in pairs.
