To succeed in college, career, and life, students need to become
financially literate. But understanding the basics of a long-term
investment or a short-term loan is not enough without the math
skills to make financially sound choices. In the already full
curriculum of middle schools today, how can teachers find room to
include financial literacy? The key is to integrate financial
topics into mathematics instruction, using everyday topics such as
spending, saving, and earning to bring math concepts to life. On
the Money: Math Activities to Build Financial Literacy, Grades 6-8
does exactly that. The fourteen chapters in On the Money provide
lessons and activities on such financial topics as jobs and net
pay, sales discounts, credit card management, car insurance, and
paying for college. The related mathematical skills include
determining percentages, analyzing and representing data,
evaluating probabilities, creating functions, and more. Each
chapter includes- a "Balance Sheet" summing up the mathematical and
financial literacy knowledge that students will take from the
lesson; relevant Common Core mathematics standards and practices
and Jump$tart financial literacy standards; a full lesson plan,
complete with sections on the "Sales Pitch," the "Fine Print," and
"Closing the Deal"; downloadable activity sheets and other
classroom material available on NCTM's More4U website; and
suggestions for extended learning, including references and
resources.
