Basic Menu Math

Basic Menu Math combines basic math skills with the fun and excitement of dining out, providing 'real-life' practice ordering from menus and figuring the cost of meals. The Basic Menu Math programs provide hours of fun while improving independent math, basic reading, and sight-reading skills. Engaging visuals make this popular program easy to use with individuals who have limited or no reading skills.

Janie Haugen developed this creative, colorful, high-interest program after observing students struggle to stay within their personal budgets when ordering at restaurants.

Each program has either traditional menus, as those used in sit-down restaurants, or menu order boards as posted in fast food and cafeteria restaurants. Students 'order' from the realistic menus and write the price of the food item on a corresponding worksheet. They then total the items to determine the price of their meals. Large type and simple illustrations make this program suitable for individuals with varying reading abilities.

Basic Paragraph Practice

Give students a fool-proof strategy for writing paragraphs with this complete writing program by Kristina Swann. When faced with a standardized-test prompt, journal topic, or essay question, many students have difficulty deciding what to write, how much to write, and what order to write in. Use this process to help.

The Process
Using a graphic organizer, students write a 5-sentence paragraph, including a topic sentence, 3 detail sentences, and a concluding sentence. Each sentence goes in its own box so that students can be sure to include all the parts. The last step is to rewrite the 5 sentences in paragraph form.
