🛍️Math Yard Sale📚 | Under Mrs. Harshbarger 🛍️Math Yard Sale📚 | Under Mrs. Harshbarger’s guidance, Grade 4 students participated in a dynamic yard sale activity that brought math to life! ✏️

Students brought toys from home, set up a simulated yard sale, and used fake money to purchase toys while calculating the total cost, including sales tax. 💵🧸 This engaging activity applied math concepts like percentages, addition, and subtraction with decimals.

Next, they visited a local grocery store to shop with real money, reinforcing their budgeting and calculation skills in an authentic setting. 🏪💰 Activities like these highlight the value of connecting classroom learning to real-life experiences! 🌟
