A student enjoyed the grocery store / estimation lesson so much, she asked to make a lesson involving estimation and a hardware store flyer. Her prompt was to create a building project, then use the flyer to list estimated and actual costs. Projects ranged from planning to "build a mansion" to "replacing the door in my room." As students reflected on what they learned, one student shared: "Getting a new bathroom is expensive. An outhouse seems more economical." A salute to LC for generating this math lesson for us!
