Financial Literacy through reading and government

Monica E. Flathman
Most recently I have worked with students in special education at the high school level. These students along with their peers in regular education need direct instruction in navigating the financial world. Most students have little to no experience in creating a budget, balancing a checkbook, or understanding other financial concepts such as interest rates, importance of wages, or savvy shopping. To assist students to become financially aware, all teachers need to incorporate financial literacy into their curriculum. Through my classes in reading and government, opportunities exist to assist students with building skills in the area of financial literacy. Articles could focus on personal finances in reading class while in government, students could look at the bigger picture or local, state, and federal financial issues.

This is what the hyperbolic tachymeter scale link (based on the calculation y=3600/x, where x is time and and y is the resulting speed) would look like if you don't worry about the first 15 seconds of the scale and focus on every speed after that point. This was more common on old "snail dial" chronographs back in the days when things (including cars) moved a lot slower. But instead of placing the scale link in the center of the link dial, Tudor put it on the rehaut.
