Imagine our class received $1,000 to spend on school supplies from the given list. How would you spend the money to benefit our classroom the most?

On your wish list, what is the total cost of the items in each category?
Supplies
Books and maps
Puzzles and games
Special items
What was the total cost of all your choices?
Would you have any money left over? If so, how much?
Did you spend too much money? If so, how much?
Compare your spending:
