Budget Builder

In this worksheet, students plan a school event while staying within a fixed budget. They list what items they want to buy, calculate total costs using multiplication and addition, and record the total spending. Afterward, they ask Copilot to check their math and compare its calculation to their own. Students think critically about where differences occurred and which parts of their budgeting were most accurate. This activity strengthens financial literacy, number operations, and real-world problem-solving.
