Need 4th Grade Thanksgiving Math Activities? Try Out Some Menu Math!

Thanksgiving is coming up, and what better way to celebrate is by integrating the idea of thankfulness into every subject? We’ve put together a fun Thanksgiving-themed multiplication activity to help fourth graders practice multiplying 1 and 2-digit numbers.

Students read the multiplication word problem task card and reference the menu for Granny’s restaurant to determine the cost of individual items.. They will then use scratch paper to solve the problem and record their answers on the included recording sheet. 

An answer sheet is included with your download for students to self-check their answers.
