Instructional Ideas

  • Have learners work on the spreadsheet section of the lesson in a computer lab or on a class set of tablets
  • Incorporate the lessons throughout an economics semester or in a seminar about money management

Classroom Considerations

  • Many of the pages are in color, but printing in black and white shouldn't affect understanding
  • Several of the extension links lead to resources that are no longer available

Pros

  • Provides rubrics, answer keys, and homework assignments for each of the five lessons
  • Ideal for a cross-curricular assignment between math and social studies
  • Table of contents allows you to organize and plan the unit efficiently

Cons

  • None
