Sorting Costs and Benefits

Help Lucas decide what to do at recess with this third-grade worksheet about costs and benefits! Lucas can either play a running game or sit and rest during recess, but each choice comes with its own costs and benefits. Students will think about each choice, then determine whether each statement is a cost or benefit of that choice. Then, learners can make their own decision about what Lucas should do!

This worksheet helps students apply the concept of costs and benefits to a familiar scenario. Learners can begin to consider the costs and benefits of their own choices that they make every day. This can also prepare students to learn about more complex concepts, such as opportunity cost.
