“The Price Is Correct” is an activity in which students work in teams to determine the cost of everyday items in today’s dollars. Then they predict how much the same item cost in a given year in the past. Teams compete against one another to come closest to the actual price. Data is available at the Bureau of Labor Statistics link given in the activity.
