Activities progress from straightforward discounts to real-life shopping decisions involving coupon rules, competing offers, budgets, and combined savings. Designed for older students receiving special education services, this resource is ideal for **functional math, functional academics, life skills, transition, and independent living instruction**. Help students move beyond practicing percentages in isolation and learn how sales and coupons actually work in everyday shopping situations.
