Supermarket Budgeting Adventure

Description: An activity where children plan a grocery shop within a budget, applying maths and reasoning skills.

Level: Year 5

Learning objectives:

  • Understand the concept of budgeting and financial constraints.
  • Develop estimation and rounding skills to manage money effectively.
  • Formulate practical problems and apply mathematical modelling to find solutions.

Aligned curriculum descriptors:

  • AC9M5N08 — Check and explain the reasonableness of solutions to problems (including financial contexts) using estimation strategies appropriate to the context.
  • AC9M5N09 — Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving additive and multiplicative situations (including financial contexts).

Equipment required: Supermarket catalogues, calculator, notepad, pencil, internet access (for price comparisons), and a grocery list from a parent.

Instructions for parents/educators:

  1. Discuss what a budget is and why it matters.
  2. Set a weekly supermarket budget (e.g., $50).
  3. Browse catalogues or online listings together; discuss price differences.
  4. Create a list of essential items for the week.
  5. Estimate costs using rounding and check totals with a calculator.
  6. Discuss strategies to save money (compare prices, store brands, etc.).
  7. Review the final list to ensure it stays within budget.

Indicators of success: The child estimates costs accurately, stays within the budget, and explains their choices using mathematical reasoning.

Rubric:

  • Exceeded: Creates a comprehensive list, uses strong estimation strategies, and justifies choices clearly.
  • Met: Lists items accurately, estimates costs with some support, and stays within budget.
  • More learning needed: Requires significant help estimating costs or staying within budget, and struggles to justify choices.
