The students in Ms. Jones’ 5th Grade Math class will be shopping for their immediate families for this project! It doesn’t matter what your background is or in what you believe. It is always a great feeling to give back to your favorite people.
Your objective:
Purchase gifts for your immediate family with a budget of $1,000.00
Procedure:
- Identify and list each member of your household by name and age. The age is important so that your gift is appropriate. Any person over 18 years of age should be identified by “adult”.
- Budget the amount you can spend on each family member. Take $1,000 and divide it amongst the number of people in your immediate family (not including yourself). This will represent the amount of money you can spend on each person. For example, if there are 12 people in your family, you want to know what 1/12 of $1,000 is. You can do that by dividing $1,000 ÷ 12).
- Write the budgeted amount for each person next to their name of the spreadsheet.
- Search the internet using a variety of websites to find a gift for each member. Be sure to print out a copy of your gift or cut out the picture from the store ad in order to prove your price.
- List each gift and the price on your spreadsheet.
- Total the amount spent after you have selected your gifts for every family member.
- Check your total with a calculator to make sure that you have stayed within your budget.
