How It Works

Students use the Cheddar Meat Loaves recipe and ingredient list to determine which groceries they need.

They then search a real online grocery store to:

- Find the Required Ingredients
- Compare Available Products
- Compare Sizes and Prices
- Record Product Information
- Record Prices
- Use a Calculator
- Calculate the Total Cost of the Ingredients

Students may use Walmart, Meijer, Kroger, or another online grocery retailer selected by the teacher.

Because products and prices change, students gain experience working with the kinds of grocery shopping and grocery store math information they may encounter outside the classroom.

---

Why Practice Grocery Store Math?

Grocery shopping connects several practical academic and daily living skills in one real-world activity.

Students must read a grocery list, determine what products they need, locate those products online, compare available choices, record important information, and calculate the total cost.

This gives students meaningful practice with grocery shopping, grocery store math, consumer math, functional math, financial literacy, money management, and independent living skills in a realistic context.

Instead of relying on predetermined worksheet prices, students work with current grocery store information and make real-world purchasing decisions. This provides practical application for consumer math curriculum, functional math curriculum, and life skills curriculum.
