Design your own house: Adding,subtracting items in real life scenarios

Having trouble motivating your students with adding and subtracting double (or triple digit) addends. Use this great file. I created this excel spreadsheet to allow student to click and drag house layouts, furniture, and even plants to an area of land. Once they choose an item, they type it in the spread sheet and tally it up. There is a self check feature on each page to see if they added or subtracted correctly.
If you have extra time or you want to turn it into a game, print out the cards. The cards allow students to subtract or add to their total budget. Your kids will have a great time with this file!
