Budget Task Cards Personal Finance Budgeting Activity
Students determine if people are spending within or outside of their budgets in this personal finance activity that builds financial literacy. Students work with net monthly incomes and monthly spending guideline percentages to calculate if spending is too much or too little and what should be spent in the various budget categories.
Students are asked to give advice on where a person could save more money and analyze grocery lists, gas payments, monthly expenditures, paycheck deductions and work with percentages.
Sometimes net monthly incomes are given, other times students need to find net monthly incomes based on the information in the problems.
What's included: 10 task cards (each with multiple questions), a student answer sheet and an answer key. The activity comes as both a printable PDF and digital in Google Forms.

I used these as part of a unit on budgeting, students were engaged, and they were easy to use.
Great way to get students engaged in budgeting and looking at different peoples spending
I've been using these task cards for a couple of years now, with a variety of students and, although I had to adapt them because I teach in spanish, they worked like a charm every time. I really like this resource!
"This was a great resource—well-organized, engaging, and very effective for my students. It saved me time in planning and really supported their understanding of the topic. I’ll definitely be using it again!"
This was great resource, it was a little difficult for the students I used it with.
