"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to dive into an exciting lesson about selling toasted sandwiches for our school canteen. By the end of our time together, you will understand some basics of addition and subtraction in a real-world context, develop skills in handling money, and work collaboratively with your peers to create a pricing strategy for our tasty sandwiches.
"Now, can anyone tell me why budgeting is important when selling something like toasted sandwiches? Yes, that’s right! We need to know how much we’re spending and how much we can earn. Let’s get started!"
"Great thoughts, everyone! Now, I’ll be dividing you into two groups. One group will have two students and the other group will have three students. I’ll count off for this.
“One, two! Group one with two members, and three, four, five! Group two with three members. Make sure you sit together and discuss the task you are going to work on. The task is to create a pricing strategy for our toasted sandwiches. You will be brainstorming together and using your ideas as a team. Are we ready? Let's move on!"
"Now that you’re in your groups, I want you to brainstorm the different types of toasted sandwiches we can sell. Think about the ingredients we could use and how much you think each sandwich should cost. Remember, you’ll be using play money to simulate your costs.
"You have ten minutes for this activity, so make sure everyone has a chance to share their thoughts and write down your ideas. When you have decided on your pricing chart, let me know, and I’ll check in with each group."
"Time's up, groups! Now, I’m going to give you these printable cards. On these cards, you need to fill in some important details. You will write down the prices of your sandwiches, the total costs, and how much profit you expect to make.
"Remember to think carefully about what you discussed in your groups while filling these cards out. I’ll hand them out now—take one, and please start writing as soon as you receive it!"
"Okay, everyone, now it’s your turn to work individually based on what your group created! Take a few minutes to fill in your printable cards with the prices, costs, and profit you came up with in your group. Think about the addition and subtraction you’ll need to do to get these numbers right.
"I’ll give you three minutes for this task. Use your time wisely!"
"Wonderful work, everyone! Now please pass your printable cards to me—thank you! I will conduct a quick check to see how well you understood the task and what you learned today. Remember, this isn’t a presentation; it’s just for me to make sure everyone is on track."
"Let’s wrap things up! Today, we talked about budgeting and pricing for selling toasted sandwiches and how important teamwork and communication are in achieving our goals. Can anyone summarize what we learned about pricing and budgeting? Yes! It’s important to know our costs and how much we can sell for, so we make a profit.
"Well done, everyone! As homework, you’ll complete a worksheet involving some addition and subtraction problems related to a simple budget for selling sandwiches. We will check these together in our next lesson. Thank you all for your wonderful participation today!"
