Introduction
It's that time of the year again for many of our family members. We are all so lucky we receive so many presents every year. This year I want us to give back to a few of our family members by purchasing them gifts, but first we have learn about budgets and money!
Task
1. Once I give you a budget you will have to decided which family members you really want to give a gift to.
2. Make a list of family members, items, and cost.
3. Everyone will share their data on the board. Ideas may be taken from the board.
4. Once you have decided what you are getting each family member in a sentence work out how much money you have left. This needs to be on a separate piece of paper, as we will be turning this in.
