Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a practical exercise for writing checks, featuring three blank checks to be filled out with provided payment details. The instructions at the top of the page direct the student to write specific checks: one to Best Buy for a laptop, another to Office Depot for printer ink, and a third to Comcast for internet and cable services. The worksheet specifies the use of today’s date for all checks, implying that the student should be aware of the current date to complete the task. The checks are numbered sequentially, suggesting the order in which the transactions should be recorded.

The worksheet teaches students how to complete a check with accurate transaction details. It guides them through the process of entering the payee’s name, the amount in numbers, the date, and leaves space for a signature, which is critical for check validation. This task encourages the development of attention to detail and the ability to follow instructions, which are crucial in financial literacy. The practical nature of the exercise also aims to familiarize students with everyday financial transactions they are likely to encounter.
