Lemonade for Sale by Stuart J. Murphy follows a group of friends who start a lemonade stand to raise money, teaching young readers about basic math and teamwork along the way. As they track their daily sales with a bar graph, children learn about counting, organizing data, and setting goals. The story encourages problem-solving, cooperation, and the value of working together to achieve a goal, making math both practical and enjoyable.


Incorporated into our homeschool math curriculum, Lemonade for Sale is a helpful resource for educators and students. Here's how we incorporate this book into our lessons:


  • Math Integration: As part of our math lessons, children employ the book's premise to understand and create graphs. 
  • Economics and Entrepreneurship: The entrepreneurial spirit of the book's characters inspires activities where children plan and simulate running a lemonade stand.
  • Creative Writing and Critical Thinking: Encouraging deeper engagement, students analyze characters’ motivations and plot outcomes, leading to creative writing assignments where they can extend the storyline or develop alternative endings. 
  • Arts and Crafts: To bring the story to life, our curriculum includes art projects where children create promotional materials for a lemonade stand.
