Imagine that you have just inherited $1,000,000. One of the conditions for receiving the money is so that you must investigate, research, and present exactly how you will spend it. You must follow the guidelines below.
Theme
The $1,000,000 must be spent carrying out one particular plan.
For example: A plan that would help save the rain forest, a plan to build new parks and playgrounds in your city, a plan for a trip around the world, a plan to open a dance studio, or a plan to open a football stadium.

gOAL
Spend AS CLOSE to $1,000,000 as possible without going over.
Research
Include all of the expenses involved in carrying out the details of your plan.
For example: If you are opening a dance studio, you must consider how many teachers you will need and how much you will pay them. If you are buying a car, you will need to consider the cost of gas, maintenance, and insurance for the length of time you will own the car.
This needs to be recorded on a google document and shared with your group members.

Accounting
In an organized way, record exactly how you will spend the $1,000,000. The purchases needed to carry out your plan should be organized in several major categories. Each major category must total at least $10,000.
For example: Think about how Mrs. Miller organized the purchases for her Florida vacation (see the tab under 'Example.'
This too can be done on a Google document by making a table.

Display
Present the research and accounting for your plan in a report, on a display board, on a poster, or using technology. You might even make a video production (WE VIDEO)
For example: Mrs. Miller presented her project as a report. In addition to her calculations, she included pictures and sample receipts whenever possibly.
