Assess students' ability to create a one-week budget from a $10 allowance that balances needs, wants, and savings. Students must allocate dollar amounts to at least three categories (needs, wants, savings), perform simple addition and subtraction to show totals and remaining balance, justify their allocations with brief reasons that explain trade-offs, and propose one change to better meet needs or savings goals. Evaluate planning, arithmetic, prioritization, and real-world application skills appropriate for Grades 3–5.
