Case: Real Life Situations
Mrs. Johnson is teaching addition to her 2nd grade class. All of her students do well in class. But when they go to the lunch line to buy food items none of them use addition . What can she do to get her students to translate her lessons to real world situations?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Johnson could create a Market Day within the grade level. Items can be brought in, and students can earn "market money" throughout the weeks leading up to it. In order for a student to buy an item, they would have to know how much "market money" they have, and determine what can be bought by adding the sum of products. To pre-teach, Mrs. Johnson could have a sample of what is for sale. For example, a lollipop's cost is $1, while a box of crayons is $4. If the student only has $3, they would need to determine what opportunity cost they will choose by adding their items together, and reselecting if necessary. This would then carry over into the cafeteria for students to add to ensure they have enough of what is being spent. |

| Comments: The solution provides an interactive way for the students to use what they are learning in a market day. I would just suggest that they create or make things such as bracelets, etc to sale their own items and this would keep them engaged because they have invested the time as the consumer and producer. |

| Comments: This is a great idea! Allowing them to experience what they've learned in class and applying it to the real world would be very effective. |
