Osmo Learning System - Economics Edition - Grades K-5
Engage students in the concepts of economics when they create, operate and succeed in their very own pizza shop. Students must carefully manage customer orders, ingredients, time management, and money skills to keep the customers happy and the business thriving. Unexpected challenges, store upgrades, money crunches, and persnickety customers keep students on their toes. In the end, they’ll realize there’s more to making pizza than spreading the cheese. Osmo Numbers can be used as part of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt core math programs GO Math! and Math Expressions.
What's Included
Includes 3 sets of Pizza Co game sets. Osmo bases sold separately

Students will use Osmo learning system to learn to identify and manipulate letters, sounds and words. The program works with iPads which makes the program interactive and exciting for the students.
Students will discuss the idea of a "code" and use the terms sequence, command, and algorithm while working to build a code. Students will use a variety of devices to learn about code including an iPad, the Daisy the Dinosaur app, task cards, legos, and coding block cards. Students will work independently and in small groups for this lesson.
Osmo Sets with compatible devices will help students develop a concrete understanding of mathematical concepts. Timely feedback is critical to provide purposeful response to improve upon a student's learning and limit potential misconceptions.
Students will look through menus (pictures of items with prices on them) and pick what they would buy for lunch. Students will calculate the cost of their meal and pay for it using exact change.
