As a substitute teacher I have contact myriad of classrooms varying in their ages, abilities, disciplines, and subject matter.
I often incorporate money into many math lessons, as it is a tangible item that many students can relate to.
* When speaking about fourths, I use quarters, dimes for tenths, nickels for twentieths.
* looking at fractions in money 1.10 is $1.10 or 1 1/10.
* Percents- I often switch things to having the students look at the percent with money.
* Working with adding and subtracting negative numbers (I use someone owing money often).
As a traditional agriculture teacher. I taught financial literacy in Ag. Business and during SAE/recordbook classes. We did various activities:
* Calculated interest on loans
* Students developed business plans and had to present to actual loan officers I brought into the classroom.
* Ag. Sales closing a deal. Actually getting someone to commit to buy their product.
* Differences between depreciable assets and non-depreciable for record books.
