Checkbook Math
Twelfth graders simulate balancing checkbooks by applying required mathematical operations. They examine newspaper ads from banks and compare various services they offer. They discuss the uses of credit and debit cards.
Curated OER
Acid Rain Simulation
Students collect data on causes of Acid Rain. In this science activity, students simulate the effects that produce acid rain, collect and analyze data from their samples. They relate science and statistics in this activity.
Curated OER
Money Math
Students explore the use of money in daily life. Through activities and real-life simulations, students write and balance a checkbook, explore the importance of budgeting, saving, and expenses. Using spreadsheet technology, they examine...
Curated OER
Accounting Monopoly Simulation
Twelfth graders make journal entries of the transactions (instead of exchanging money) during a Monopoly game on day one of the lesson. They post on day two and create worksheets/correct errors on day three.
