Unit Rate Real-Life Math Project (Part 1) | Summer Job Offer Math

Everything you need is included, and requires minimal prep!

NOTE: This is a more introductory version of: Level 2: Which Job Offer Should I Take? — Unit Rate Real World Math Project.

How can I use it?

Here's one way you can use it in your classroom:

1. Introduce students to Mike. Use the scenario page to introduce students to Mike Mason, a high school student who received 3 summer employment offers from different companies with different salary options.

2. Work alone or together, print or digital. Then, give students the offer letters from all 3 companies. Students can work in groups or individually to apply unit rate to solve the big question of which offer Mike should take to earn enough money to afford a mountain bike.

3. Check the answers. You can walk through the answers with students, or pass out a copy of the included answer key for students to check!
