//**Check out the [|unit plan] that included this Visual Ranking activity!// // "Fourth-grade students develop business acumen by marketing flowers for Mother's Day. Students conduct market research, determine product potential, seek funding, and market and sell their product. They survey schoolmates to determine flower popularity and use their knowledge of market price and profitability to "grow a business" and reach their sales goal. The Visual Ranking Tool helps students to set priorities, debate differences, and make correlations in order to reach consensus about which flowers to sell. "//
