Laminating will also allow students to be able to circle key words using vis a vis markers or make other notes and erase when finished.<\/p>\n<p>As an extension, have students create their own menu math problems to go with the included menu. Encourage them to use the math skills you are studying in the class. &nbsp;This is a great way to weave problem solving with math skills and writing!<\/p>\n<p>Have other great ideas for using the menu or extending the lesson? Please share below so that other teachers can benefit from your ideas as well!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You will find these resources free on VariQuest&rsquo;s blog.
