Description
About this class:
Course Overview
This course is designed to provide students with essential knowledge about consumer math, also referred to as financial literacy or personal finance. The goal is to equip students with the skills and information they will need as they embark on their careers and transition to independent living. By learning these concepts early, students will be better prepared to make informed financial decisions.
Class Structure
The class will include discussions, guided practice, and independent work, all focused on real-world applications. Students will have weekly homework assignments to reinforce what they have learned in class, which they will submit to the teacher for feedback.
Prerequisites
To succeed in this course, students should have a solid understanding of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals, as well as experience with calculating percentages. If it has been a while since your student has practiced these concepts, I strongly recommend reviewing them before the class begins.
Class Format:
Our weekly class meetings will be held via Zoom. Students will access their lessons, print worksheets, submit assignments, join discussions, and view their feedback through our classroom platform, Canvas.
I strive to keep our class sizes small so we will have between 4-6 learners in class. This is a good number for student interaction:)
