I would like to wire up financial literacy with circuitry, using modular battery holders, D batteries, alligator clips and light bulbs. My students will create a class sized circuit to be used in conjunction with the Banking Edition of Monopoly. They will create 3D store fronts of Atlantic Avenue, B & O Railroad, Baltic Avenue, Boardwalk, Connecticut Avenue, Electric Company, Illinois Avenue, Indiana Avenue, Kentucky Avenue, Marvin Gardens, Mediterranean Avenue, New York Avenue, North Carolina Avenue, Pacific Avenue, Park Place, Pennsylvania Avenue, Pennsylvania Railroad, Reading Railroad, Short Line, St. Charles Place, St. James Place, States Avenue, Tennessee Avenue, Ventnor Avenue, Vermont Avenue, Virginia Avenue, and Water Works. These streets, railroad stations and storefronts will be created using recycled cardboard wired up with lights using the batteries, modular battery holders and alligator clips. The banker will dictate moves using the Kano Harry Potter Coding Kit.
My students will learn how to allocate resources based on their budget.
Financial literacy is a life skill that is too often neglected. All students should be introduced to budgeting basics at a young age so they can incorporate these money management strategies into their everyday lives. We live in a world of finite resources, whether our resources are cash, credit, or energy.
