Activity

Treat bags are an important part of almost every childhood birthday party. In most cases, the host or hostess takes great care in picking out the treats and trinkets that will be included in the party bag. In this activity, students are given a budget of $32.50 and will use this money to buy treats for their birthday party bags. Each student must first decide how many children will be invited to his/her party, since this will affect how much money will be spent on each party bag. Using a spreadsheet and their estimation skills, each student will determine which objects (from a selected list) he/she will buy for the birthday party bags.
