| The materials include Instructor Guides and Student Worksheets. By encouraging students to explore a diverse set of financial situations, the Guides and Worksheets further support student learning in four different ways. |
- Learn by doing (constructivism): asking open-ended “what if” questions and using meaningful real-world examples.
- Learn by building a conceptual foundation: connecting important mathematical skills and tools (tables, graphs) with a systems thinking conceptual framework. This framework visually represents dynamically changing financial “systems” (e.g., a personal savings account).
- Learn by challenging preconceptions: discovering, by using computer simulations, that there is more than one right “answer” or way to successfully manage one’s finances.
- Learn by sharing, comparing, collaborating, and applying the lessons to meaningful personal financial problems.
Numerous mathematical and systems thinking standards are addressed by these 7 Lessons. |
