🎉 New Year’s Math Budgeting Activity | Addition & Problem Solving Math Centers 🎉

Engage your primary students with this New Year’s math budgeting activity where students plan a New Year’s party while staying within a set budget. Using a clear price list, students practice addition, budgeting skills, and math problem solving in a fun, real-world context.

Each party item has a specific dollar value. Students must plan, add, and adjust their choices to stay within their assigned budget. Budgets include $10, $15, $20, $25, $50, $100, or $1000 making this activity easy to differentiate for Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 learners.

Use “must include” cards to guide student thinking or offer “your choice” cards for open-ended problem solving and enrichment.
