Resource was a great jumping off point. Financial posters were great. We also did a persuasive writing piece to convince principal to allow our hot chocolate stand. (Originally shared on my TpT store.)

We used this resource as an extension of our money unit and the students love it! They are so excited to be able to work on a tangible product while learning important life skills such as teamwork, problem solving, and, of course, all things money! Such a great resource for young learners. (Originally shared on my TpT store.)

The Hot Chocolate Stand PBL is an excellent project-based learning resource that combines creativity, real-world problem-solving, and math skills. Students get the chance to design and plan their own hot chocolate stand, which promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and decision-making. (Originally shared on my TpT store.)
