Fritter has been saving towards a summer
er
visit to Six Wags Amusement Park. He e
th
needs a total of $100 and by sticking with
his savings plan, he’s well on his way!
Unscramble this list of words.
Hint: They all have something
to do with money!
One great way to save
a large amount of money
is by saving just small
amounts over a long
period of time.
So far, Fritter has saved up:
If you get an allowance,
don’t spend it all at once.
Save at least part of it
each time you get paid. It
really adds up!
Another way to write that
amount is using words,
like this:
Before buying something,
make sure you know if
it’s something you want
or something you really
need. It matters!
ometimes it is hard to decide
if something is a need or a
want. For example, cake is a food,
but it is not a need. It’s a want.
Turn each number into words and the words into numbers.
Which of these following foods
are more wants than needs?

More or less?
Look through the newspaper for two money
numbers written as numerals or words. Cut
these out and glue them next to each other on a
piece of paper, leaving a little space between
them. Fill in the space with a <, >, or = sign to
make a true statement.
Standards Link: Research: Use the newspaper to locate information.
Complete the grid by using all the letters
in the word WANT in each vertical and
horizontal row. Each letter should only
be used once in each row. Some spaces
have been filled in for you.
This week’s word:
ALLOWANCE
The noun allowance means
an amount of money that is
paid for completing a chore.
My allowance for raking the
leaves is $5.00 each week.
Try to use the word
allowance in a sentence
today when talking with
your friends and family.
