♦
Assign the following problem and have students
answer the questions.
A group of students from a jazz choir want to attend
an international competition. They need to raise
money to help pay for the expenses. Each student
decided to investigate a scheme and present their
findings at the next meeting of the group.
One student decided to sell granola bars. The
predicted profit for every bar sold is $0.65. How
much could this scheme realistically make for the
trip?
♦
Have students present their solutions orally with
handouts that include a written plan along with tables
and graphs to support their cases.
