"Good morning, everyone! Today, we're going to have some fun with maths by selling toasted sandwiches! Our objective for today's lesson is to understand how we can calculate the costs and profits involved in selling our delicious sandwiches. Can anyone think of different types of sandwiches we could make? Yes, great suggestions! Now let's discuss the kinds of ingredients we might need for these sandwiches.”
“Now that we have some ideas about our sandwiches, we need to take a closer look at how much they will cost us to make. I’m handing out worksheets to help you calculate ingredient costs. Please work individually for about ten minutes and try to find the total cost for your sandwich. Make sure to use your calculators for accuracy! Don’t hesitate to raise your hand if you have any questions while working.”
“Alright, time's up! Now, let’s divide into two groups. Each group will choose a type of sandwich to sell and then decide on a selling price based on the costs you've calculated. Remember, you want to ensure that you cover your costs and also make a profit. You have about ten minutes for this activity. I’ll be walking around to assist with any questions or discussions you might have. Let’s see some collaboration!”
“Wow, that was fantastic work! Now, it's time for each group to present their pricing strategy. Let’s start with Group 1. Can you please share the sandwich you chose and explain how you decided on your selling price? Excellent reasoning! Now, Group 2, it's your turn. What sandwich did you select, and how did you come up with your price? Great responses! Now, I’d like to facilitate a discussion. What were some of the different strategies you used for pricing? How did teamwork come into play? Let’s hear some thoughts!”
“Fantastic job today, everyone! To wrap up, let’s summarise what we learned. We explored how to calculate the costs of sandwiches, set our prices, and discussed the importance of teamwork and communication in solving problems. Remember, maths isn’t just about numbers; it’s also about thinking through real-life situations. I’m proud of the collaboration and ideas you shared today! As your homework, I’d like each of you to create a pricing strategy for another type of sandwich at home. Write a short paragraph explaining your pricing choice. This will help reinforce what we've learned. Thank you for your hard work today! See you next time!”
