About 10 minutes, plus any extended practice
Supplied materials
- Paper and pencil; drawing or spoken answers are welcome.
- Topic notes: Buyer: the person obtaining the item or service. Seller: the person or business offering the item or service. Price: the stated amount charged for an item or service. Payment: the amount actually given in the stated exchange.
- Original exercise cards: A fictional customer purchases a loaf. / A fictional shop offers bread for sale. / A fictional sign says one loaf costs $3. / A fictional customer hands over $3 for the loaf. / A repair shop offers its labor for payment. / A shop lists a $5 repair charge. / A customer transfers $5 after the stated repair. / A customer pays for a bicycle repair.
Learn the idea
A buyer obtains a good or service. A seller offers it in exchange for payment. A price states how much is asked for one item or service. Payment completes the stated exchange; a price label alone does not prove an item was purchased.
Buyer: the person obtaining the item or service. Seller: the person or business offering the item or service. Price: the stated amount charged for an item or service. Payment: the amount actually given in the stated exchange.
