About This Product
Here’s a fun and engaging Christmas Math Project to help your students in 4th through 6th grade practice adding & subtracting decimals while also fostering budgeting and basic personal financial literacy skills as well! They will have a budget to shop for presents for their family and friends for the holidays!
HOW TO USE:
On the first page, students are asked to think of how much money they could have if they find 2 bills and 14 coins in their piggy bank before they go shopping. They can think of six different amounts using this open-ended math prompt.
Encourage your students to find the largest amount ($43.50) as this is going to become their shopping budget for the task ahead!
The second page includes a simple spreadsheet for your students to use while shopping for four different people.
The third page includes all off the simple gift items (candy, book, puzzle, gloves) that students can shop from.
They will draw sketches of the presents they want to give to each person. Then they will add up each person’s total cost. This is a great way to practice adding with decimal numbers.
Finally, they must add up all 4 subtotals to make sure that they have not gone over their total budget.
Remind your students to use subtraction when working with their budget. Model how to do this to see how much is left over from a budget once some items have been picked. This is a great way to practice subtracting with decimal numbers.
