Product Description
In this Plan a Music Festival differentiated project, students will use the given information about bands’ set times, merchandise options, and costs to decide who will perform when at the music festival and choose the items for the gift bags attendees receive.
Through their choices and planning, they will use least common multiple to ensure the sets on the different music stages end at the same time. They will then use greatest common factor to choose items for each gift bag, ensuring they maximize the bags while staying within the given budget.
