Financial Literacy

Beverly Nordyke
I teach high school math, so topics dealing with finances come up regularly.  I am amazed at how little some students know about how money is used in their own homes and families.  This is obviously not being sufficiently taught outside of the school and is desperately needed in all areas of our curriculum.  Teaching Consumer Math taught me as much as it did my students, and I feel the need to continuously brush up on current trends regarding Financial Literacy for my own benefit as well as my students'.
