From this lesson, students learn about how to save and invest their money, such as with retirement funds, loans, and tipping at a restaurant.
Objective: (1) Set aside money each month for retirement funds
(2) Talk about "Loans"
(3) Tipping at the restaurant
Common Core Standards: (1) Modeling savings account balance, (2) Comparisons of loans, and (3) Students extend their understanding of ratios and proportionality to solve a wide variety of percent problems, such as tips.
Why: Having a job and getting paid is a very exciting time in life because it marks the transition from depending on families to being on your own. Develop a habit of saving some each month for unexpected spending as well as investing for retirement.
How: Consider your sources of income and evaluate your expenses (as in previous lessons). Set a saving's goal either in dollar amounts or a percentage of monthly income.
