Used this today – the kids really enjoyed this as review prior to a test – very engaging.
One thing I wish I would’ve thought of was giving them a budget to spend, would require a bit more critical thinking to stay within a budget.

I used this as a review for my 5th grade intervention students. It was fairly easy, but it did give them practice adding decimals, and they found the activity really enjoyable. This would work will in a center, too, or could be an option for fast finishers in the class.
