In this math activity, learners role-play as wait staff at the Kidtropolis Diner. It's the end of the night and it's time for the staff to collect their tips. Learners calculate their tips and try to earn the most tips so that they win the Tip Topper Challenge. This is a fun way for learners to practice calculating percentages.
