Content Standards

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or
drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the
relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method, and
explain the reasoning used.
Cooperation and working with their peers.
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or
whole number by a fraction.
Objective
Students will relate adding and subtracting decimals, in this case money and pizza
ingredients, to real world situations. Students will also work with making their own
equations out of ingredient counts on their pizza and also subtracting ingredients from their
pizza. Teacher will then work with class as a whole on 3 digit addition and subtraction
problems and regrouping.
Technology
Students will be kept accounted for by teacher incorporating Class Dojo in the lesson
to monitor work completion and class behavior. Students will be rewarded at the end
of the assignment based upon their Dojo Results.
Socrative will be incorporated into activity by students using class computers and
IPads with warm up of 5 addition and subtraction problems. Socrative will score their
results for teacher .
Materials
A menu from a pizza restaurant or the menu attached can be used. A Pizza order sheet
(attached)
Paper plate
Red pom-poms
Yellow pom-poms
Yellow/Orange pieces of string
Black beads
Brown pieces of felt
Activity
Students will have a warm up of 5 addition and subtraction problems using Socrative. They will
have 5 minutes to complete their warm up.
Students will work in groups of 2-3 and will need to have an understanding of how to count
money, as well as how to add and subtract decimals.
Teacher will give each group a spending limit based upon the number of students in the group.
Allow $8.00 per student in each group. (Group of 2 would have a budget of $16 and a group of 3
would have a budget of $24.)
Each group will receive a copy of the pizza menu and will decide what size pizza they want,
toppings and any extras based upon their budget. The students then need to compute accurately
the total amount they will spend if purchasing these particular items. Students will then be able
to create their pizza out of various items the teacher brings in.

Students will then make a pizza using a paper plate, pom-poms represent pepperoni, yarn
represents cheese, felt represents sausage, beads represent olives, yellow pom-poms represent
pineapple.
Based upon the pizza students ordered off the menu with their budget, they will create their
pizza. They will have to add the total amount of ingredients they have on their pizza, will be
asked to take away a topping and possibly add on another ingredient, then take off the
ingredients. Students will make equations of addition and subtraction with their ingredients.
Once students have worked with the equations and their ingredient counts, then teacher will put
problems on board with 3 digit addition and subtraction and work with students on regrouping
problems would be working with problems such as 324 pizzas + 291 pizzas = ???
