Part of Lesson Plan: Menu Pricing

Activity Overview / Details

This section is shortened and revised on the power point presentation. This is a more descriptive explanation for teachers....

Have students break into quad groups. Instruct students that in the groups they will now create a math menu word problem worksheet. Teacher will give groups the handout attached below. The groups need to write up six different math menu problems, one from each category/ (method of pricing)

Methods are: factor, markup-on-cost, contribution, average check, competitor's pricing & psychological pricing

As quad groups are working on creating the math menu problem worksheet, teacher will be answering questions and checking their work.

Once the quad groups have come up with their math menu problems worksheet, they will join another quad group and exchange worksheets. Each quad group will take the other quad group's worksheet and figure out the math menu problems that they have created.

Once each quad group has completed the math menu problems, they will check the other groups answers and review the steps/problems if any clarification is needed.
