Money Alphabet Daily Supply Activity

For this activity, each letter of the alphabet has been assigned a monetary value.
Eg. A=$1, B=$2, C=$3, etc…

Students must work to calculate the following:

• Who has the most expensive name in the class
• Who has the most expensive name in their family
• Which teacher has the least expensive name
• What’s the most expensive item in the room
• a word that equals exactly $100

The attached spreadsheet is a calculator which automatically calculates the cost of any collection of words.

As an extension you can start to add decimal places and change the values.
Eg. A=$1.50, B=$3.75, C=$2.70, etc…

You could also give students a set amount of money and ask them to work out how many items from a shopping list they could buy using the nouns as prices, with a prize to the student who budgets for the largest quantity of items.
