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 plan a field trip to a local store or market. Prior to the trip students would receive a certain amount of dollars to spend. When the students arrived at the store/market they would be instructed to choose items that they wanted to purchase, but they would have to return with a certain amount of money. This would help them with addition and subtraction.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: It is important to teach students to use money in a store. When students learn this, they will be less likely to be taken advantage of when dealing with money. Rated On: October 15, 2014 1:30 am Rated By: qyDyXu
