Buying and Financing the Car of Your Dreams

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Eighth graders go to one of a number of web sites (provided by the teacher in a hotlist) to find a car they would like to buy if they were old enough. They would then be provided with the necessary information to compute monthly payments and the total amount of interest paid on a typical auto loan.
