It practices finding what a budget spends, saves and gives — 2 questions for Grade 3 to Grade 5, all on C3 Framework D3.1.3-5: Gather what you need from several sources, choosing each for a reason. The instruction to students is “Read each budget, then answer the questions. Show your work”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
