Grocery Store WebQuest Update!



Very soon we’ll be completing a WebQuest that will teach us more about adding and subtracting using decimals. We’re going to go shopping at the grocery store. We will use our computers to complete the WebQuest, think of it as a virtual field trip. First you will learn about prices. You will learn that everything we buy, in any store, has a price. You will learn that the price tells us how much something costs.  Sometimes that price is a decimal. You’ll see links (that will take you to other websites) and other tools on the web that help us learn how to add and subtract using decimals. You will  draw, write, and create in this WebQuest to help you become masters of adding and subtracting decimals. 

Towards the end of this WebQuest, I will give you some money and you will shop on your own. You will create a grocery list and find the items that you need at the grocery store. You will look for the prices and think about how much everything costs so that you can find the total. You will draw out or cut out the items that you buy, and then put them on your poster. When you have done this, you will show your total. You must not go over the amount that I have given you. On the poster, you will show me how much you spent, and how much money you have left (if you have any left). You will also tell me how many items you bought. You cannot use a calculator for this assignment. I am excited for us to begin this WebQuest and hope you enjoy it!
