Paying Bills *SIMPLE* Worksheet

When teaching bills to my students, I first give them all a bill to look at. We discuss sections of the bill as a class so that each student is familiar with what they are looking for (date due, amount due, account number, etc). Students then fill out this worksheet including real life applications, such as an envelope to write out the address and a check to fill out the amount.
