Activities

1. Activity: Anime Character Costumes

   Choose your favorite anime character and research their costume. Write down the total cost of the costume, including accessories and props. Use addition and multiplication to calculate the cost of multiple costumes for a group cosplay.

2. Activity: Anime Convention Tickets

   Find information about an upcoming anime convention and determine the cost of tickets. If the convention lasts multiple days, calculate the total cost for attending all days. Use subtraction to find out how much money you would save if you bought an early bird ticket instead of a regular ticket.

3. Activity: Anime DVD Collection

   Take a look at your anime DVD collection and count the total number of DVDs you own. Use division to calculate the average number of DVDs watched per week. If you watch 3 episodes per day, determine how long it would take to finish watching the entire collection.
