Learn to develop savings plans with this set of 8 task cards and savings plan template.
Students will use the savings plan template and a problem card and complete the sections to determine how long it will take to reach a savings goal.
Each task card will become more complex, with students having to complete additional calculations before adding information to the template.
The template includes sections for:
- Savings Goal
- Current Amount of Savings
- Income – per week and/or per month
- Weekly Expenses
- Monthly Expenses
- Weekly Savings
- Monthly Savings
- Time Until Savings Goal is Met
Choose to give students particular task cards to complete based on their ability or complete a task card together as a class.
Print the task cards on thick card. If working in small groups, place a few savings plan templates into write-and-wipe sleeves and reuse them for each group of students.
