Students will take part in several scenarios where they apply their math skills to make the best decisions. In one scenario, they inherit a large sum of money and explore the topics of spending, saving, investing and taxes. In another scenario, they are planning a shopping trip in a foreign country and must convert currency, decide the best payment method and bargain with local vendors. Ultimately, students will research their own scenario and create money-related dilemmas for their fellow students to resolve. Along the way, they learn about how banks and credit cards work, how stores make money, and how individuals can save money and maximize value.
