This activity is a real-world problem that students may face in their life. It would be a great activity to introduce students to linear equations and graphing linear equations. During this activity, students can problem solve with a partner or group to figure out where they should have their frozen yogurt party based on the given information.
Attached below: A handout with directions and problems for students to solve.
This activity aligns with the the Common Core State Standards and the Math Practices:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.C.7 Solve linear equations in one variable
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP4 Model with mathematics.
Handout: Frozen Yogurt Party
Great picture problem, I like the vibrant colors these companies use to draw the eye of customers and students in this activity. I am drawn to not only find out which place is better to rent out but also where will I be going out to treat myself for completing this activity. The layout of your worksheet was well spread out and easy to follow. The only change I would make, if at all, is to input lines in the answer boxes to provide a structure for students who might want to write very big and fill out the box with little said. Overall it is a nice activity, now time to go get that treat.
