December Class Project: Budget, Compare and Justify

INTERNATIONAL | FICTIONAL CLASSROOM BUDGET MATHS. Suggested ages 9-12.

Compare complete project costs, explain a choice under a fixed budget and revise it when the class requirements change.

An original reading, two activities, three exit questions, separate answers and teacher guidance. Eleven pages per PDF edition: colour A4, colour US Letter, monochrome A4 and monochrome US Letter. These are matching versions of the same content, not 44 different teaching pages. Eight editable PowerPoint slides accompany the PDFs, plus editable text and a file guide. Seven files in the ZIP. Pupil material is on pages 3-6 and separate answer guidance on pages 7-9.

Add and multiply whole numbers, compare totals with a budget and round pack counts up. All prices are fictional credits.

Use the fictional credit prices and school-supplied materials. No buying, family-spending disclosure or real supplier comparison is required. Support multi-step calculations with a pack-count table.

Original fixed-project procurement task, distinct from S08 recipe scaling. Credits are fictional; no financial or purchasing advice, family-spending assumption or guarantee of classroom timing.

One adaptable lesson or two shorter sessions is suggested; no classroom trial or named curriculum alignment is claimed. Download and extract the ZIP. A PDF reader and PowerPoint-compatible software are required. The preview shows actual pages. British English spelling is used; paper size is not a claim of curriculum alignment.

One-teacher classroom licence: adaptation and secure sharing with the pupils taught by that teacher; no public redistribution or resale.
