Activity 5: Money Hunt (GLEs: 12, 13, 40)

CC:  Read the story, Pigs Will Be Pigs, by Amy Axelrod, or a similar story. As you read the story, have the students keep a running total of the amount of money the pigs find on their money hunt. When the pigs have enough money to go out to eat, have the students predict what menu items they will buy with their money. After the story, have students work in groups to find as many possible menu combinations for spending the pigs' money. Have them create a table showing the purchased items, the amount spent, and the change received.
