Grocery Store Math (Decimals)

I am not even going to pretend, decimals are one of my least favorite topics to teach, specially adding and subtracting them. At the same time,  I am also not one to let my students know that, so after several days of practice, here's an in class project that we did.

Goal: To practice adding/subtracting and rounding/estimating in real world situations.

Students worked with a partner to complete this project.
