Standards Link: Language Arts: Understand the meaning of common idioms and their uses.
This does not mean your pocket is on
fire. It's an idiom that means that you
have some money you are eager to spend.
We all enjoy spending money when
we get it. But have you ever wanted to
buy something, but had no money
because you already had spent
everything you had?
When we spend money quickly, we
lose a chance to save for something we
want or need in the future.
Another important idiom is, "A penny
saved is a penny earned." This means
that we shouldn't carelessly spend or
waste money, but try to save it. That's
because "Money doesn't grow on trees!"
Imagine that you save the amount of money shown each month. How
much will you have saved at the end of one year?
Now imagine you saved that same amount money every year for 10 years.
How much money would you have saved?
1. That will happen
when pigs y.
4. Don't count your chickens
before they're hatched.
5. She's been feeling
under the weather.
2. Get your ducks in a row. 3. He's getting cold feet.
An idiom is a common phrase which means something different
from what the actual words say. Look at the common idioms
below. Then, match each idiom with it's meaning by writing
the correct number next to that idiom's definition at right.
6. I felt like a sh out of water.
Putting money away in a piggy bank is
a great way to start saving. But putting
money into a savings account at a
bank or credit union really pays off.
That is because a bank pays you
interest on your money. That means
you can earn money by letting your cash
sit in your savings account.
