Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our Finance classes will learn about acquiring assets and building cashflow through playing Monopoly, so we need your help in getting the students more boards! This week-long project puts a twist on the normal rules of Monopoly where we also introduce and involve concepts in Finance such as debt repayment, blockchain, return on investment, and asset tracking.

We currently have two boards, but in classes of 34 students, the learning and effectiveness would increase greatly with smaller groups playing with more boards.

The students love this unit, and we would appreciate any assistance you can provide.
