Baker’s Dozen Dilemma

Worksheet Description

The “Baker’s Dozen Dilemma” is a delightfully illustrated worksheet that invites students to step into the shoes of a bakery shopper. With a variety of bakery products such as bread, cakes, and cookies, each tagged with a price, students are tasked with writing down the price of each item in the space provided. They must then add up the prices of the grouped items to find the total cost, turning each box into a mini-math challenge. This engaging activity allows students to practice their addition skills in a context that’s both fun and mouth-watering.

This worksheet is designed to teach students the concept of addition within the context of money, specifically with the use of decimal points. It reinforces the ability to accurately add different monetary amounts, which is a crucial skill for financial literacy. By presenting the task in the context of a bakery, it also introduces students to the concept of summing up a bill, a common real-life application of addition. The worksheet ultimately aims to enhance students’ numerical skills while also imparting practical knowledge on how to handle money in everyday situations.
