As children become more comfortable working with money, they can begin learning that making a good money decision often involves more than simply adding up prices.
These free financial literacy worksheets for grades 4 – 5 give students practice using math to make everyday choices involving grocery shopping, comparing value, sales and discounts, and saving for something they want. The activities combine practical money skills with grade-appropriate math so students can see how the concepts they learn in math class apply to real life.
This free worksheet set helps students:
- Use a budget while shopping for everyday items
- Compare quantities and prices to determine which purchase offers a better value
- Calculate sale prices and savings
- Understand how discounts affect the amount they pay
- Plan and track savings toward a financial goal
