What educators are saying

My students were supported by teachers and paraprofessionals to complete this task in small groups. It was an excellent task to get them to understand the cost of living after school. The task was organized and easy to follow. Thanks for creating this task for students.
Great. Students really had a lot of fun. Would recommend doing a round with them so they see what it's supposed to be like.

Description

**Updated 2020 and includes a DIGITAL version, which includes the recording sheet!**

Financial Literacy - Balancing a Budget: An Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers activity! This is a great project based learning idea!

This can be printed and used as a hands-on activity. There is also a DIGITAL version that can be used on Google Drive (Slides)!

This financial literacy activity is great for 3rd - 5th graders as an enrichment or extension activity for addition and subtraction of whole numbers. Students will be allotted a certain "income", which they will spend on a home, car, and additional living expenses. Students will be engaged and excited about this activity!

This is perfect for the Financial Literacy TEKS (balancing a budget & fixed/variable expenses).

** All documents come in color and black/white versions.
