The opening slide describes that the best deal is getting more for your money.  Things on sale are not always at the best price and the amount of product matters.  Students are given five slides with two or three prices.  Students have to determine which is a better deal.  Students may use unit rates, but students are also asked to use another way to determine which is a better deal.  Students can scale up or down using ratio tables or by purchasing the same quantity of each item. 

This assignment can be completed individually or in a group of 2-3.  The teacher begins with slide 2, a welder can earn $17/hr.  Then using multiplicative or additive properties to complete the table.  The first 2 career options give hourly rates.  The following two give weekly rates, while the last is a yearly salary.   Students can work up or down the ratio table depending on their comfort level.   The last three slides are for the students to explore salary options not mentioned before.  Students are increasing by 10's and doubles to find the salaries.
