Lunch Logic

Worksheet Description

This worksheet uses a Chinese food menu to present cost-based word problems. Students calculate totals for various lunch specials, sides like fried rice, and compare combinations of items. The menu features classic dishes with an additional cost option for fried rice. The goal is to promote careful reading, addition, and reasoning based on menu data.

Working through this task improves addition fluency and introduces the concept of optional add-ons and how they affect total cost. It supports comprehension by encouraging attention to small details like default items and upcharges. Students also enhance their ability to compare value across different meal choices. These skills help them understand budgeting and consumer decision-making.
