Description

Build practical shopping math, consumer math, and functional math skills with this bundle of 10 real-world shopping list activities.

Students use current online retailer websites to search for products, compare brands, sizes, and prices, record product information, and calculate shopping totals using a calculator. These activities give students meaningful practice using a shopping list, comparing prices, making purchasing decisions, managing money, and solving real-world math problems.

Unlike activities that use fixed worksheet prices, students work with current products and prices from real shopping websites. This gives students practical experience with shopping math, price comparison, financial literacy, money management, daily living skills, and independent living skills.

Designed for functional academics and real-world learning, these activities fit naturally into consumer math curriculum, functional math curriculum, life skills curriculum, financial literacy instruction, transition programs, and Adulting Made Easy activities.

Save 20% with this bundle. The bundle includes two different shopping themes—Max Edition and Lake House Edition—for a total of 10 complete activities based on realistic everyday shopping situations.

Students may use Walmart, Target, Amazon, Meijer, Instacart, or another online retailer selected by the teacher, allowing product choices and prices to stay current.

Why Use Real Online Shopping Websites?

Real online shopping gives students an opportunity to work with current products, prices, brands, sizes, and choices in a realistic setting.

Students must read a shopping list, locate the items they need, compare available options, record important information, make purchasing decisions, and calculate the total cost of their selections.

Because products and prices change, students gain experience navigating the same kinds of shopping decisions they may encounter outside the classroom.

Instead of completing shopping math activities with predetermined prices, students work with current information and practice comparing prices and making purchasing decisions based on the choices they actually find.

This provides meaningful practice with shopping math, consumer math, functional math, financial literacy, money management, daily living skills, and independent living skills while connecting academic instruction to realistic purchasing situations.
