• Fun With Thanksgiving Math

  Have children list their favorite Thanksgiving foods. Once the list is made, provide information on current prices for the foods, including turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Many times this information can be gleaned from newspaper circulars. Give students "play" money with a set budget and have them try to purchase Thanksgiving dinner for 10 or even 12 people without going over their budgets.

  Have kids try to calculate how many pounds of turkey they will need per person for Thanksgiving dinner. They could also try to determine how long the turkey will need to be cooked, based on its size.
