Andrea’s Million Dollar

Project

What Is The Million Dollar Project?

Your teacher Gives you exactly 1 million Dollars!! But Don’t

get your hopes up, they’re fake.

You have to spend every last penny. No

dropping any.

You have to create categories for what you want to buy. Each one has to be worth $10,000 or more.

You can buy

anything you

want, as long as

your not spending

more that 1

million!! Or Less!

Make sure you know what your

getting before you buy. That’s why

we fill out a planning sheet!

As your buying,

you create graphs

to make it easier

to see what your

doing, and how

much money

you’ve already

spent.

So My Project

Is…

Today was Andrea’s Lucky day. She had won the grand prize at her school’s big fair. The prize was a basket with millions of

things! Since Andrea didn’t like half of them, she decided to trade them in. In return she received 1 million dollars in

spending money. But then they told her that she had to spend it all in less than a month or else!!

So, Andrea set off onto the internet looking for cool things

to buy.

But as Andrea began to realize that this would

be a lot more complicated than she

thought, she put together a planning sheet that looked

something like this:

Name: Andrea Johnson Partner’s Name: Don’t have a partner

Date: January 13th 2012

How would you spend $1,000,000? Planning Sheet

Theme: Buying A Farm to raise horses. Plan: My plan is to buy a house with a barn, and to keep horses there because I have always wanted my very

own horse. Then I will buy a trailer and a truck that can hook up to it. I don’t want to not take good care of my

horses, so I will buy all of the best products for them. And since I might not be able to feed my horse 4 times a

day and let it in and out of the pasture, I want to hire a few people to work there. So, that’s pretty much how I

want to spend 1 million dollars. People always tell me that horses are really expensive, so this is the perfect time

to buy some!!

Major Categories:

1. Animals

2. House And Barn

3. Accessories

4. Workers

5. Trailer

6. Other Stuff

• After Andrea created her planning sheet, she decided to

go a little deeper by researching what she wanted to buy and

putting it into a excel page. Each page had a category, and down at the bottom was how much

that category was worth.
