Having fun with Maths budgets

Byron wanted to buy baby clothes, juice, chocolate, chips, wine for Mrs C, and that would be all of his $50.

Amelia had $1000. Her favourite three items are: flower covered car seats, some fake skulls and an air compressor. She thought they would be very useful for Halloween night.

Riley spent $50 on cat food, fizzy drink, a phone at a bargain price, and 1kg of mushrooms. 

Todd had $500. He wanted an X box, a wifi hotspot, a wall charger, and an external drive. He wasn't as hungry as Byron and Riley's cat. 

 Jayden had $50. He dreamed about getting some chicken, some wine for his lucky mum, pasta, a burger and some toilet cleaner.

De-lyna wanted to help people out by buying Nappy pants in case a parent visiting the school needed some for their child.

For $500 Brooke bought a Paddington DVD, a phone cover for her mum and a pair of black leather shoes for going out in. Zara thought she would be able to buy  new slippers, a Mrs Brown's Boys DVD for her dad, a music DVD for her mum and a smoothie from a fast food outlet for $50.

James thought this kind of maths was fun because he was 'shopping' with his friends and they got heaps of things. Mia liked the challenge of finding things for a budget. Koby thought it was cool to work out the things he could buy after he had earned real money when he went wood chopping.
