In the Classroom
Six ways to use it
Reading a menu
The core skill: students read realistic food prices off a restaurant menu to answer each question.
Adding & multiplying money
Order totals and “how much for 3 of these” build everyday addition and multiplication with dollars and cents.
Making change
Students figure the change from a bill — a practical money skill that comes up every time you eat out.
Sales tax & tip
An optional challenge for older students: calculate the sales tax, the tip, and the grand total on a meal.
Life skills & consumer math
A natural fit for a consumer-math, spending-money, or life-skills unit on eating out and paying a bill.
Sub plans & homeschool
A no-prep, self-checking worksheet with an answer key — a brand-new menu every time.
What It Teaches
Menu-math skills students build
Reading a menu and paying for a meal is one of the most common real-world money tasks, so it is a great way to practice consumer math. Each worksheet gives students a restaurant menu with prices, then asks them to total an order, multiply for several of an item, and make change. Turn on the sales tax and tip questions to extend the sheet for older students — they calculate the tax, the tip, and the grand total. Pair this with the restaurant tipping worksheet and the money math lessons for a complete spending-money unit.
- Read prices off a restaurant menu
- Total the cost of an order of several items
- Multiply to find the cost of several of one item
- Make change from a bill
- Calculate sales tax, a tip, and the grand total (optional)

How does the worksheet work?
Each worksheet prints a restaurant menu with food prices, then word problems that have students read the prices and work out the cost of an order, multiply for several of an item, and make change. Turn on the optional sales tax and tip questions for tax, tip, and grand-total problems. The answer key fills in every answer.
What grade level is this for?
The core menu-math questions suit grades 3–5 and up. Turning on the sales tax and tip questions extends it into middle school and beyond, since those involve percentages.
Can I personalize it?
Yes. Add your students’ names (one per line) and set the number of questions (up to 10) and the number of menu items (4–8). Each worksheet gets its own menu, prices, and questions.
