Family market project

This project mixes math, writing, and planning. 1. Choose a product: baked goods, crafts, seed packets, or pretend items for younger kids. 2. Plan costs: list materials and their prices. Older kids can calculate cost per item. 3. Set a price: discuss what's fair and what covers costs. 4. Make a sign: practice persuasive writing and neat lettering. 5. Run the market: at home with family, or at an approved community event. 6. Reflect: How many sold? What was the profit? What would you change? Adapt it: younger children can count coins and sort items; teens can make a simple budget spreadsheet.
