Budget Challenge - Money Problem Task Cards

Checking your access...

Strengthen addition and budgeting skills with these open-ended budget challenge task cards. Students draw a mission card and use the matching picture cards or price list to choose items that fit the challenge, recording each item and its price, adding them together to find the total cost, then checking whether they stayed within budget. Follow-up questions ask students to reflect on how they'd adjust their choices if the budget changed.

What's included:

  • 18 challenge cards

  • 60 picture cards, in colour or black and white

  • 1 challenge worksheet

  • Price list (2 to a sheet)
