00:00Hey there, super shoppers!

00:02Who's ready for a fun maths challenge?

00:05Today, I'll take you on a shopping trip.

00:07But there's a twist.

00:09You can only spend $10.

00:11Do you think you could shop smart and stay under budget?

00:15Let's find out!

00:16Imagine you've just walked into your favorite shop.

00:20There are so many cool things to buy, but you can't just grab everything.

00:25Your mission, fill your basket, but don't go over $10.

00:28Ready? Let's play!

00:31First, let's check out what's on the shelves.

00:34We've got a bouncy ball for $2, a cool water bottle for $4, some stickers for $1, and a snack pack for $3.

00:41Hmm, what would you pick first?

00:43Let's try adding as we shop.

00:46Say you grab the bouncy ball and the stickers.

00:49$2 plus $1 is $3.

00:53Nice! You've still got $7 left.

00:55Now do you want the water bottle?

00:57If you add $4 to your $3, what do you get?

01:01That's right! $7!

01:03You've still got room for a little treat.

01:05Maybe the snack pack for $3?

01:077 plus 3 is $10?

01:09Spot on!

01:11You've hit your budget exactly.

01:13But what if you wanted two bouncy balls?

01:16That's $2 each, so $4 for both.

01:19Add the stickers. That's one more dollar.

01:21So now you've spent $5.

01:24With $5 left, could you still get the water bottle?

01:275 plus 4 is 9.

01:29Yes, you could.

01:30And you'd have $1 left to spare.

01:33This is where the real challenge comes in.

01:35Making choices.

01:37Sometimes you have to decide.

01:38Do you want one big item or a few smaller ones?

01:41Maybe you really, really want that water bottle, but then you won't have enough for the bouncy ball in the snack pack.

01:48It's like a game, but it's real-life maths.

01:52Shopping with a budget helps you practice adding, estimating, and thinking about what's most important to you.
