As I have worked to incorporate financial concepts and an entrepreneurial mindset into the math I teach, I have found my students' curiosity ignited. They have wanted to dig deeper, explore further, and confirm their excited hypotheses about how finances might connect with topics they learn about in Social Studies or English and Language Arts. Unfortunately, because our school has limited technology, my students are frequently unable to use great online resources at the times when it would make the most sense. Students have been limited in their ability to explore financial literacy at a deeper level or investigate the connections they discover between math and other subject areas, simply because I cannot always get laptops at the right moment. Similarly, the kinds of innovative projects they can do has been limited by technology. Classroom Chromebooks would allow my students to explore financial literacy more deeply and across the curriculum. My intent is to provide a permanent center in the front corner of the room for exploring financial literacy resources like Chalkboard Kidz’ Frugality Game, Hands On Banking for Kids, and Warren Buffett’s Secret Millionaire’s Club so that students can do this work during enrichment time or when recess must be indoors. I am excited about the kinds of independent projects this deeper understanding will spark among students who place out of a unit during any part of the curriculum. This is the kind of real-world learning that motivates students!
