Work with your child to complete this worksheet. |

1. Select different items and their prices and record them in the first two columns. 2. Then have your child select coins that total the price. Be sure to include two items that have the same price, and have your child use a different coin combination to illustrate the price of the second item. 3. Ask your child to identify which two of the items they want the most and circle them. Then help your child write "my choice" next to the favorite item and "what I give up" next to the second-favorite item. After the page is completed, display it in a prominent place in your home. 4. What they "give up" is called their "opportunity cost". |
