Percent of Change Task Cards Activity

Students calculate and compare percent change between present and past costs of items in this financial literacy activity. Students then determine which item's cost increased the most over the years.

Students compare prices of food, cars, homes, salaries and other items from what they cost in past decades to what they cost today. Prices are historically accurate, which brings up good discussion about inflation and the cost of living.

What's included: 16 task cards, student answer sheet, and answer key. Includes both a PDF printable version and digital in Google Forms.
