Life Skills Arcade Middle school Family and Consumer Sciences, grades 6 to 8
Teacher note

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.
