I was a parent volunteer for a learning journey trip with my kid's class to the supermarket today. Needless to say, a big portion of the trip involved over-excited 8 year olds running across aisles. But a small portion of the trip also involved a few simple activities for them to apply their knowledge of Math and common sense from Science. The attached activity sheets caught my attention more than the other ones. In this activity the kids had to prepare a list of things they wanted to buy with a budget of $5 and then compare the actual prices with their estimated prices. There was also emphasis on prioritizing #NeedsOverWants, and having #BufferSavings. Important concepts of #ProjectManagement, #Budgeting, #Forecasting, #ContingencyPlanning, and #HumanPsychology introduced in a simple yet effective exercise in addition to Math and Science! Ingenious!
