Related to the Use of Menus

Through the use of real-life story-problem scenarios, students get plenty of practice
with analyzing the information in word problems and applying the correct math operations to solve the problems.
Menu Math includes four pages of colorful, realistic images, photos and information for each menu. The corresponding word problems were designed to develop math proficiency and to help students understand why mastery of essential math skills is so important to success in the real world.
Real-Life Menus include four different types of restaurants: Adagio, The Green Dragon, Golden Gate Grill, The Two Sombreros

Questions
Students are asked to use the four colorful menu pages for each restaurant to find the information they need in order to solve the math word problems. When solving a problem, students may need to use the answer from another problem on the same page. Problems progress in difficulty as students work through the questions for each menu.
The first activity page introduces students to the contents of the menu pages by asking comprehension questions. Answering these questions will familiarize students with the information they will need to solve the word problems
