Pop-A-Tag: Buying Clothes at a Thrift Shop

Students will participate in a simulation where they purchase clothing items and determine the total cost of their purchases, including tax and any discounts offered.

Offered as a cooperative group activity, they will simulate being the customer and the sales person. The activity can be modified for independent work, however, the move toward real-world problem solving and Mathematical Practices suggest that it be an activity involving discussion and collaboration between students.
