Mission 5. Art Centre Market Day
Art Centre Enterprise ManagerNumber50 min
The local art centre is getting ready for a market stall, selling screen-printed tote bags made by artists at the centre.
We are learning to
- Calculate the cost of a single item from a batch total.
- Compare selling prices to work out which gives the best profit.
- Calculate a percentage of an amount for a community contribution.
Success criteria, I can
- I can divide a total cost by a quantity to find a unit cost.
- I can calculate profit as revenue minus cost.
- I can find 10% of an amount.
Adapting this mission to your community
- Replace 'screen-printed tote bags' with whatever the local art centre actually makes (fabric, carvings, paintings, pottery).
- Use real pricing if a local art centre is willing to share rough figures.
- Check with the art centre about which designs, if any, are appropriate to name or show, otherwise keep it general.
