Have your students go digital with this fun unit on budgeting that features interactive activities to enable students to plan a budget taking into account earned income, expenses, and a short-term spending goal. This resource is completely editable giving you the flexibility to modify it to suit your students’ needs. You will be able to change spellings, currency format and other written content by overwriting sample content. All clipart is secured in accordance with the artists’ terms of use.
Content
Students will work digitally on the following 4 main activities:
Four tasks that facilitate an understanding of what it means to budget wisely.
a. My Lucky Week
Planning expenses with no relation to income. Students get a feel of expenses
and work with whole and decimal numbers to calculate total cost.
b. On a Budget
Planning expenses in relation to a stipulated income. Students need to determine how to
best budget to keep their expenses less than the given income.
c. Reaching My Goal
Planning expenses in relation to a given income and achieving a short term goal. Students
work out a spending plan to achieve a short-term goal.
d. My Personal Budget
Drawing up a personal budget plan on the basis of personal income received and wants.
students determine the feasibility of a budget plan through constructed reflection.
** Also included is a booklet cover if you would like to print students’ work and compile
and task sheets, posters (colour and blackline) in an editable Power Point file.
Other Activities
Creation of Bar Graphs to show differences and comparisons in expenditure for the budgeting activities. Graphs are linked to charts in Google sheets. Students will be able to input their data to automatically reflect graph creation. Instructions are in the slide notes pane.
Making wise choices from the Dream Collection Catalogue to achieve a short term goal.
Constructive reflection on a budget plan with emphasis on spending patterns.
Self-assessment, peer assessment, and teacher assessment using rubrics as a tool.

BASE TEN: HUNDREDS TENS AND ONES: SCOOT
Build number sense with these 24 Base Ten Scoot Cards on Hundreds, Tens and Ones. These cards feature colourful base ten block illustrations to help your students count in hundreds, tens, and ones. Recording sheets (2 options), file folder covers and answer key also included.
SUGGESTED USE
→ Small group rotations (cards may be rotated among small groups of students)
→ Math Centres
→ Early Finishers
→ Morning Work
→ Warm-up/Tuning in Activity
⇒ Game of Scoot: There are many variations to the game. Here’s one: Lay cards around the classroom. When the teacher calls ‘scoot’ students pick up a card and write their response on the provided Recording Sheet. Students can only move when ‘scoot’ is called out. If the student does not finish solving the problem on a card, he/she can continue to spend more time on it, but must wait till the teacher calls out ‘scoot’. You can also have this as a silent activity where students move around quietly solving all the task cards without the teacher calling out ‘scoot’. At the culmination of the activity, project the cards on the interactive whiteboard and discuss the answers with the class. Alternatively, place the answer sheet at a Centre for students to self-check.
PREPARATION
♦ Stack and perfectly align sheets. Cut along task card borders carefully. Work with 3 sheets at a time for better manipulation.
♦ Laminate cards for durability. There are four cards on a single sheet.
♦ Store cards in zip-loc bags (small plastic pouches). Label.
♦ Place cards and copies of Recording Sheet in file folder.
♦ Glue file folder cover (2 options included) onto folder.
Are you teaching your students all about chance and probability and looking for fun hands-on probability activities? This print and digital (google slides) bundle of probability worksheets will reinforce the understanding of theoretical probability, experimental probability, language of chance, sample space, predictions, lists, tree diagrams, dependent probability events and independent probability events.

Dice roll to find the number of trials and relative frequency of the numbers rolled.
Group experiment to toss a coin a given number of times and record the total heads, total tails, total outcomes, and relative frequencies of heads and tails (fractions and decimals) for each group. This is to prove the law of large numbers that indicate that as the number of trials increase, the relative frequencies tend to get closer to the expected value (0.5) of tossing a coin.

This section features ‘Work with Teacher’ and ‘Student Practice’ pages. The ‘Work
with Teacher’ page will enable you to demonstrate the solution for each problem.
I work on the PDF version of the file on the I-pad. This is projected on the interactive whiteboard (via a VGA cable) as I show annotations and working out of the problems.
The ‘Student Practice’ pages will enable your students to practice the problem-solving strategies modeled by you in the ‘Work with Teacher’ pages. Problems are the same format with only a change in the numbers.

*MATH LIB ACTIVITY
My students really enjoyed this activity – I’m sure your students will too! I cut out and laminated the ten task cards. I then tacked them to the wall with Blu-Tack. (this way cards don’t get lost if they were left on students’ desks – it also gets students up and moving), Students then write the ratio to solve on their recording sheet, simplify it and look for their answer from the list of options. They write the word against the selected option in the ‘fill in the blanks’ section. The end result is a silly message. You will find that this is a far more interesting way of answering a multiple-choice question and checking students’ answers. The activity sets up all students for success – you will notice that the answer to card 10 is quite obvious. The other cards also target differentiation.

Got ten minutes to go before that last bell and lost for what to do to keep students busy? Well, this pack of 140 Subitising cards can be a perfect time filler.
Subitising is the ability to look at a number of items in a small set and identify the amount without counting each one individually. Educator, Douglas H. Clement in his article, “Subitising : What is it? Why teach it?”, states that students who develop the ability to subitise show improvement in overall maths skills, especially addition and subtraction skills.
So get your students to not only use perceptual subitising whereby they quickly identify the number of items in a set by perceiving that four dots are more than three dots for example, but are also able to use conceptual subitising that involves the ability to combine small set of numbers or number combinations, for example, six dots and two more make eight in all.
HOW TO USE
Show each card briefly for less than 3 seconds. Students should look at the arrangement of dots and patterns to identify the number. The idea is not to count each dot individually, but look at the items as a whole and determine the number. Explicit training is required so eventually students can combine numbers to find out the sum of two sets of numbers.
Students can also play with each other in small groups. One student shows a card and the fastest to answer keeps the card. You may also have students play ‘Around the World’. Student who answers gets to move around the circle till he/she returns to their spot.
* Instructions for a fun game is included in file.

SUBITISING TEN FRAMES 11-15
SUBITISING TEN FRAMES 16-20
** Cards are marked with different colour backgrounds and dots for each section. You may mark each section behind each subitising card to differentiate if you like.
CATERING TO DIFFERENTIATION
The cards in this pack range in complexity in terms of number and arrangement of dots in a set. Cards that use perceptual subitising feature less number of dots that are more spread out in a line or rectangle, while cards that require students to use conceptual understanding feature dots that are more tightly arranged in a linear arrangement or placed in a circle. For older students, cards can be shown for a fraction of a second. Research shows that with practice, students will develop the ability to subitise and eventually demonstrate increased arithmetic skill.
If students know their times tables, the work is half done. Think about it, so much depends upon having a good grasp of time-table facts. Problems related to division and multiplication demands strong number sense, so help your students know their multiplication facts with this fun resource.
