Did I Burn Enough Calories?

Did I Burn Enough Calories? is a Grade 3 mental math activity built around a chart of calories burned during different physical activities. Students start with a daily calorie amount, account for regular activity, and design a plan using multiplication, addition, subtraction, and rounding to estimate how the remaining calories could be burned. The context gives mental computation a concrete planning purpose.

Use it as a whole-class problem-solving task when you want students combining operations and explaining estimates. Focus the discussion on the mathematics in the provided data rather than on personal health or diet choices.
