Reviews Lesson 1.16, Lesson 1.15. Reviews Lesson 1.16 (unit price, the better buy, the bulk trap, and the sales tax rule) in round 1 and the store sections from Lesson 1.15 in round 2. Use it as the do now of Lesson 1.17, or the day before the project pricing in Lesson 1.18 so every Shopper has done the division once more. The prices are the September 2026 practice-sheet prices, not this week's circular; the game is about the math, and the teacher note on the end panel says to check the real shelf tag. Round 1 allows a calculator on the phone's other screen only if the teacher says so; Grade 6 setting: drop the pound-to-ounce questions (the chicken and the rice) and the tax questions from round 1. Grade 8 stretch (comparing two circulars, tax to the penny) stays on the handout. Round 1 allows a calculator on the phone's other screen only if the teacher says so; the choices are close on purpose.

Smart Shopper
A price and a quantity, or two options, appear. Tap the unit price or the better buy from three choices. Then a grocery item appears, and you tap the store section it lives in from six.
How to play
- Unit price = price divided by quantity. Write the dollar sign on every unit price answer. 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz).
- Produce (fresh fruits and vegetables); Dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, butter); Meat and deli (including pre-cooked chicken); Frozen; Dry goods (pasta, rice, cans, jars, spices, bread); Household (foil, plates, soap, cups).
Done
The ones to study:
Worth knowing by heart:
- Unit price = price divided by quantity; dollar sign on every answer
- Match the units before you compare: 1 lb = 16 oz
- Store brand is usually 20 to 40 percent less; bulk wins per ounce only if you can use it and store it
- Cheaper per unit is the wrong buy when it will spoil first, there is no room to store it, the family will not eat that much, a food rule rules it out, or you cannot afford the bigger total today
- Most grocery food in New York is not taxed; foil, plates, cups, soap, candy, and soda are
- The six store sections and what lives in each
