Designed for grades K - 6, Ice Cream Truck allows elementary students to get "two scoops" of math learning fun when they take on the role of the owner of a busy Ice Cream Truck! With two levels of difficulty, this business simulation provides students with opportunities to develop skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; money sense; collecting, organizing, and analyzing data; using spreadsheets; and problem solving and decision making. Students experience firsthand, a real-world application of mathematics as they learn the relationship between costs, pricing, and profit in a simple non-competitive marketplace. An on-screen journal with simple spreadsheets assists in keeping track of sales information and helps students as they plan subsequent trips. A detailed teacher's guide provides numerous extension activities. |
