Grade 4 students had an interesting activity that allowed
them to set their own meal in a specific budget. This activity involved
students using their math computing skills and their science skills too!
The activity started when students were divided into group
of 4 members each. Each group had a specific diner menu and a specific amount
of money. Students used this amount of money to form a meal that contains
all the food groups (students used knowledge about food pyramid acquired in the
science classes).
This activity allowed students to develop and strengthen
their thinking, problem solving, cooperating, and decision making strategies;
they needed a specific time to plan, adapt others opinions, evaluate their
thinking, and take the appropriate decision.
Finally, students used their artistic skills to draw the meals they formed.

Nice idea,they learned to use math in their daily life!!
Connecting Math with real life situations can expand students' awareness and understanding and develop their skills.
