"My students got a HUGE reality check with this activity. I love it because not only is it using math, but it is showing them what they have to look forward to in the future. My 8th grade College and Career class was not ready but made it through. "

Description

Students analyze budgets and overspending in this financial literacy activity. Students work with net monthly incomes and monthly spending guideline percentages to calculate if spending is too much or too little and what should be spent in the various budget categories.

Students are asked to give advice on where a person could save more money and analyze grocery lists, gas payments, monthly expenditures, paycheck deductions and work with percentages.

Sometimes net monthly incomes are given, other times students need to find net monthly incomes based on the information in the problems.

What's included: 10 task cards (each with multiple questions), a student answer sheet and an answer key. The activity comes as both a printable PDF and digital in Google Forms.

These budget task cards were perfect for my seniors as a filler activity before Spring Break. They tapped into their prior math skills and kept them engaged for a full period.
