Wants and Needs
Price: $2.99, format: 7 page PDF, grades: 2,3,4,5,6

It's never too early to begin teaching youngsters about basic economics, the
importance of spending or saving money wisely, and the significant
difference between things we want and things we truly need. This issue helps
children learn that goods and services can satisfy both wants and needs, but
you don't always need - or get - what you want.
In this issue students will:
- differentiate between wants and needs
- unscramble letters to spell money words correctly
- calculate sums and figure out missing digits in regrouping
problems
- think critically to respond to a prompt
- use the newspaper to locate examples of wants and needs
