Check the item and its price
In a pretend shop, Nova compares pencils with a plan to keep some tokens.
If your plan changes to needing several colors, what else would you check?
Use 3 paper tokens and pretend blue (1), green (2) and a set (3). Plan for blue with at least 1 left. Compare features, count what would remain, then choose. Change the pretend plan and discuss how the choice might change. Use no real purchases; adults manage family spending.
