Menu Math (Fractions & Decimals)

Menu Math (Fractions & Decimals) is a Grade 6 real-world math activity built around restaurant menus. Students choose items they would order and use the prices or menu structure to work with fractions, decimals, and percents, including discount or coupon situations when appropriate. The familiar context gives abstract representations a practical connection to money and purchasing decisions.

Use it in small groups when students are applying fraction, decimal, and percent reasoning outside a textbook problem. Students can also design their own menu under fraction-based constraints, such as requiring a certain fraction of the choices to be drinks.
