📊 Competitor Price Shock Notes

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Content Expertise Collaboration Academic Mindset Effective Communication NC.7.RP.3 Submission Required

Students work in teams through a short sales simulation using sample hive products, calculator checks, and notebook tables to compare an original price to a new competitor price. After calculating one or two quick percent-based changes, students give feedback to 2 peers on whether the team question is clear, evidence-based, and testable for Phase 2, then revise the question in writing. The lesson ends with the required partner oral debrief: each student explains one ratio or percent strategy that worked, one mistake corrected, and one way the team stayed organized under pressure.
