LESSON PLAN

Menu Math Exploration in a Dual Immersion Classroom

Grade level: 4th

There’s many ways to connect computational thinking with the process of ordering at a restaurant. You can further tailor this lesson to your learning environment by using examples from local eateries.

Learning Objectives

  • Use C.U.B.E.S. strategy to solve mathematical multi-step word problem

  • Explain the steps that were used to solve the word-problem

  • Build knowledge of block coding through Scratch programming and how it connects to the word problem

María says: 

Am I going to overthink ordering from now on? Maybe. Am I amazed how much I think like a scientist when I’m at a restaurant? Oh yeah.
