Financial Literacy in Middle School Math

Amanda Lessman
As a middle school teacher, I believe that i have a duty to help prepare my students for real world challenges and what better way to connect my content area to future responsibilities and needed skills than through financial planning and education.  Simple credit and debit, through addition and subtraction, percentage and fraction study of income allotment for different needs and payment of interest, there are so many ways that math teachers can tap into financial literacy.  I am looking forward to diving into the course and finding more connections.
