2nd Grade Math/Writing
Maine Learning Results/PEI’s/Local Standards:
A. NUMBER: Students use numbers in everyday and mathematical contexts to quantify or describe phenomena, develop concepts of operations with
different types of numbers, use the structure and properties of numbers with operations to solve problems, and perform mathematical computations.
Students develop number sense related to magnitude, estimation, and the effects of mathematical operations on different types of numbers. It is
expected that students use numbers flexibly, using forms of numbers that best match a situation. Students compute efficiently and accurately.
Estimation should always be used when computing with numbers or solving problems.
2 Students understand and use procedures to add and subtract whole numbers
with up to four digits.
b. Use an operation appropriate to a given situation.
Technology Standard:
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:

Lemonade Stand
Its a hot summer in your neighborhood and you decide to set up your own lemonade stand. Your mom has given you a $20 limit to start your stand. You have to buy cups, lemons, ice and sugar. Cups are $0.75 for 25 cups, $1.25 for 50 or $2.00 for 100. Lemons are $0.69 for 10, $1.00 for 20 or $1.69 for 30. Ice is $0.50 for 200 cubes, $1.00 for 300 or $1.25 for 500. Sugar is $1.00 for 4 cups, $1.50 for 8 cups, or $2.00 for 12 cups. Your cups of lemonade sell for $0.50 each. 1 pitcher= 3 lemons +2 cups of sugar+10 ice cubes
1 pitcher= 10 cups
1. What can you get with your $20 for the best deal?
2. How many cups did you sell?
3. What was left over?
