How do our borrowing choices affect how much we pay? Students dive into the world of borrowing by competing in the Borrowing Olympics, where they rotate through real-life financial scenarios and solve math challenges at bronze, silver, or gold levels. Through interactive stations and a final group discussion, they explore interest rates, loan terms, and credit choices to better understand how to make smart borrowing decisions
What can financial data tell us about the way people earn, spend, and save money? Students kick off the lesson by predicting how everyday money habits affect future outcomes, then investigate real-life financial trends as “financial detectives” during a gallery walk. By analyzing graphs and discussing patterns in saving, spending, and investing, they uncover how small choices can lead to big financial impacts over time.
In this classroom activity, students explore how probability influences financial decision-making through hands-on dice games and real-world scenarios involving risk and reward. By modeling probabilities, comparing financial choices, and discussing concepts like insurance, students learn how understanding risk can lead to smarter everyday decisions.
