Gift Budget Crew

This worksheet places students on Santa’s Gift Planning Committee and assigns them a strict $100 budget. Students read a list of gifts, choose one for each child, and record both selections and prices in a chart. They must total their spending to remain within budget. The activity blends literacy and math through a festive narrative setup.

Students practice applied arithmetic, especially addition and cost comparison. The chart format strengthens organizational reading, requiring careful transfer of information. Budgeting scenarios support real-world numeracy. By analyzing needs and choices, learners also engage in evaluative reasoning.
