Middle School Consumer Math Sub Plan (No Prep): Menu, Tax & Tip, Grades 6-8

A consumer math day built around a restaurant bill. Students learn subtotal, sales tax, tip, percent and split, plus quick by-hand percent methods (10%, 20%, 15% and 8%). Then they work out real-feeling bills from a made-up diner menu. Every subtotal is a whole number of dollars, so tax and tips land on whole cents and no calculator is needed.
