Instructional Ideas

  • Divide the lessons according to where they fit in your math curriculum
  • Have class members work in groups for each scenario, and then share what they learned with the class
  • Send the extension activities and projects home for pupils to work on with parents

Classroom Considerations

  • Packet seems very long (100 pages), but there are several blank pages, so it's shorter than it seems

Pros

  • Provides expectations and objectives for each grade level, from fourth through eighth
  • Promotes enrichment and real-life application of mathematical concepts
  • Equips learners with helpful and important financial skills they can take with them beyond the classroom

Cons

  • None
