Introduction
You have been working so hard on improving your math skills this year, that I have decided to reward you with lunch at a local restaurant! But hold on, there's a catch! Have you ever heard anyone say...There's no such thing as a free lunch? Well it's true---your group will have to eat on a limited budget, figure out the total bill, determine tax and tip, divide the check between the members of the group, and make correct change! I hope your ready to go Out to Lunch!!!
Task
For this Webquest, you will divided into groups or you can work on your own. Each group will be assigned a restaurant and given a budget. In order to "earn" your lunch, each group will need to order within the budget, figure out sales tax, determine the correct tip, divide the bill equally between members of the group, and make correct change. Your group will need to use the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills you have learned in math class to complete this Webquest and "earn" your lunch. Good luck and get HUNGRY to learn!!!
Process
In order to earn your "free lunch," your teacher will divide you into five groups. Each group will be assigned a restaurant to visit for lunch, but before you can go you must decide who will fill each of the following roles:Restaurant Recorder:The Restaurant Recorder is in charge of filling in the Order Ticket with the food choices and prices of each of your group members. Remember that you need to make sure that each member orders a drink and a meal; the group must pick one appetizer to share. Your group will work together to add up the total price of your meal, and you will record it on the ticket.Thrifty Tipper:The Thrifty Tipper is in charge of figuring out how much to tip your waitress. You will work with your group to take the total price of your meal, plus the tax, and multiply it by 10%, 15%, and 20%. Your team will record each tip amount on the Tip Calculation Sheet, and then decide how much you are willing to leave for a tip.Tasty Taxer:The Tasty Taxer is in charge of figuring out how much tax will be added on to your group's food bill. You will use the sales tax finder website to determine the sales tax in your state, and multiply it by your total food bill. The tax will be recorded on the group's Order Ticket, and then you will find the total cost of your meal.Delicious Divider:The Delicious Divider is in charge of helping the group divide the total cost of the meal and the tip equally among the members of the group. You will take the total price of the meal, plus the tip, and divide it by the number of members in your group. You will record this dollar amount on the Order Ticket Sheet.Charming Change-maker: The Charming Change-maker will be in charge of helping each group member determine the change they should receive from the waitress when they pay their bill. You will record how much each member gives the waitress, and how much change they should expect to receive.Directions:
1. Each member of the team will be given $20 to spend on their lunch.
2. The team should click on their assigned restaurant link below, and look through the menu.
