The Wishbook, Computer and a budget

Every year, before Christmas - I have the students file through the Wishbook for ideas for themselves and their families. Although, they can make wishes -- they have to also stick to a budget. Normally we look at the Wishbook, calculate prices using sales tax, etc. They must come in under budget.

But this week, I have been doing some online shopping through Sears and Amazon.ca So then I thought, why not use the school laptops or a computer lab to complete the same assignment.

It's just another way to integrate math and computers along with some added holiday buzz.
