The Restaurant Activity is an extension activity . There is part 1, part 2, and part 3. Part 1 is a math part, part 2 is a writing, and part 3 is another math part. What you do for part 1 is you make a bird’s eye view plan of a restaurant on a half inch grid paper. But there are rules: you have to leave space around the perimeter of your restaurant and ⅓ of your restaurant has to be the kitchen. You also have to draw tables with 2 chairs, 4 chairs, and 6 chairs. After you have made the plan, you have to fill out a worksheet. The worksheet asks you questions like: What is the perimeter of your restaurant? What is the complete area of your restaurant? How many chairs are there in total in your restaurant? And lots more! Once you have finished part 1 Ms. Sprague will give you part 2. Part 2 is making a menu for your restaurant. You have to have at least 8 items on your menu and you have to come up with a name for your restaurant. Then, you have to write the menu and if you want to, you can type up your menu on the computer. Also, you have to make a picture, name, and description for each item. For example, “The Cheese Monster”- a grilled cheese sandwich with tomatoes on wheat bread. Then, you have to write an opinion piece about what your restaurant is like and persuading someone to come there. After you have finished part 2 you can start part 3. Part 3 is another math part. It asks you to be the waiter or waitress for your restaurant. So, if someone asks you they want “The Cheese Monster,” “Smile Back,” and “The Tower of Pizza” you would calculate how much money they would spend plus the tip. It will also ask you other questions like: If you calculated a check for three people what items would they order? And how much money would the total be for that family? In my opinion I think the Restaurant Extension Activity is a great extension!
