"Buying Grades" program @ "Consumermath.org"
Guest posted a topic in General Education Discussion Board
I have been teaching a "teacher-made" Personal Finance Course. This summer, I researched "Consumermath.org" program, where the students earn "money", and end up "purchasing" their grades. What questions should I be asking about this program, by Seth Hunter? Thank you for your reactions, forum members! -

Free Personal Finance Curriculum
Still Waters posted a topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I just wanted to share something I came across the other day. Free personal Finance curriculum: http://www.moneyskill.org/ I haven't had a chance to dig into it too much, but I did register, and they were really quick in approving me. Here's the info from the front page: MoneySKILL IS Free! MoneySKILL is a free online reality based personal finance course for young adults developed by the AFSA Education Foundation. This interactive curriculum is aimed at the millions of high school and college students who graduate each year without a basic understanding of money management fundamentals. The course is designed to be used as all or part of a grade for courses in economics, math, social studies or where personal finance are taught. Students experience the interactive curriculum as both written text and audio narration. In addition, frequent quizzes test their grasp of each and every concept. The 34-module curriculum, with pre- and post -tests, covers the content areas of income, expenses, assets, liabilities and risk management. A life simulation module asks students to project their own financial life expectancies in areas such as employment, housing, transportation, education, marriage, family and retirement. The life simulation allows students to incorporate the MoneySKILL personal finance concepts into their everyday lives, thus providing them with knowledge and skills that will last a lifetime. MoneySKILL's special features: It's free! Available for use by teachers, parents, employers, government agencies and non-profit organizations. Select specific modules and order of study for students' course. Indicate a module retake for students. Add release date for student to begin module. Records date student completed module. View student answers to questions. Recreate/duplicate modules used for a previous class. Electronic grade book records each student's module test scores and course grade. Import class roster into the electronic grade book. Hope this helps someone else as well! Have a wonderful day! Rhonda -
I would love to hear from anyone that has used this. I have the books that would be used with the course and was just going to create my own. However, if this is really good and laid out well, for $5 and $2.50 shipping, I'd spend the money to save some time. :001_smile:

my dd is in 10th grade and taking algebra 2. Math is her best subject but she has no interest in doing any higher math than she is now. Her plans are to start community college next year, take all her required classes for her AA and then go into Culinary School. Her AA req. do not include any math. However, I was wondering if I should have her take a business or consumer math just in case she has her own catering business some day. If so, can anyone recommend a good business math book? My dh, is writing an entrepeneurship class for next year so maybe I will have her take that instead (the price is right lol). -

I plan on doing a personal finance/consumer math with my high school/college age sons. Now they're ready to learn it. I plan on teaching the class, not my bs economics and ba accounting husband. (but we can always go to him for more) I have the scope/sequence for MUS stewardship. I am looking at Dave Ramsey's Foundations, but I cannot find a scope sequence to see what it covers. All I can find are generalities; and rah, rah reviews from his own website that don't tell me very much about the specifics. Does anyone have the scope/sequence for it? Has anyone been able to look at both materials and can share their input? Or another good personal finance program for this age? thank you -
Does anyone have a program or book that you especially love for this? We are thinking about switching from Algebra II to Consumer Math this year and I was hoping to find something fun and interesting.

We do math all year around- even on school breaks during the school year. We do not do our regular math curriculum- we do consumer/practical/real life math. This year I bought Survival Math for my dd. What other math programs do you like? I am looking for all grades- elementary through high school! Thanks

You know, practical, real-world math? Any grade/level, doesn't matter. :001_smile:
