The following link will take you to My Wedding Budget spreadsheet.
Using spreadsheets in the classroom is very challenging and helpful for students. Spreadsheets can be used to calculate all the formulas for projects. The student will also have a printout of everything that is needed for a project and costs.
I can use a spreadsheet like this in the classroom to allow the students to calculate expenses for a project they are seeking. It will also allow students to figure out what if questions. One guided question I will use to guide the students is "List the items you will need for your project?" My second question will be "Estimate what each item will cost." Third I will ask them to "How much money do you actually have for your project."

Great idea! I think it is important to teach children that everything comes with a price. That way they can understand how much they need if they want to go all out for their projects or if they need to cut back.
