Students Create a Clothes Shopping Budget
Spreadsheet and Chart

Scenario: Students shop online to select clothing to donate to a needy child using the Clothes Shopping List as a guide. Students should select as many items as they can for one girl or boy without going over $200. Students enter their chosen items and costs into a spreadsheet.

Assignment: Students create a spreadsheet using Google Sheets to show how much they have spent on clothing. Students use the SUM function to calculate the total expenses. Students use a simple formula to calculate money left over (allowance - total expenses). Students create a lovely chart illustrating their expenses.
