In this special multi-day Math Missions series, students will become Thanksgiving Feast Planners — using critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity to “host” a Thanksgiving dinner for their guests.
Each session focuses on a different math skill:
Budgeting and cost comparison for groceries
Fractions and scaling recipes for a set number of guests
Measurement conversions for ingredients
Time management and sequencing to plan the cooking schedule
Data organization and presentation to build a menu and shopping list
By the end, students will “present” their feast plan — complete with a menu, itemized shopping list, and budget report — ready to impress their virtual dinner guests!
This class brings math to life through meaningful, practical application with a Thanksgiving twist.
