How to use:

The student book and student notebook sheets have been designed to work together. Problems are presented in the book that students then work out in their notebooks.

The teacher's book and student notebook sheets key include all answers to questions presented in both the student book and the student notebook sheets. There are extra analysis questions within the student notebook sheets that are answered in the student notebook sheets key.

Students can paste each notebook sheet into a composition notebook (a 120-page composition notebook will work best) and answer the questions by using information and examples found in the book.

The projector notes are in PowerPoint and match the student notebook sheets so that you can complete notes along with your students if they require this added support.

The editable quizzes are in PowerPoint. Most are 2 pages with the exception of the quiz for Percent change (1 page) and Income taxes (3 pages). Students learn to complete a U.S. 1040 tax return as part of the Income taxes unit.

I am so excited to share this curriculum with you. When I taught high school consumer math, this was the curriculum that I needed but didn't have. I hope your students thoroughly enjoy building their financial literacy with you. If you have any questions, I can be reached by email at shana@scaffoldedmath.com.
