Great idea for keeping the students on task while watching your demo!

Thanks! I've adapted it so you can do these on two different days too. My previous school had the block schedule but my present school doesn't!

30 Days episode: Minimum Wage video notes

Lynda Love (TpT Seller)

I didn't know about this show and it's so pertinent to my Personal Finance class! I found the full episode on Netflix, which I already pay for so that works out great for me. Not sure what others might do--the TeacherTube version only shows about 10 minutes of it. I also need to change the Oregon information to that of my state, but I don't think that'll be a problem as the document is in Word.

Glad you'll find it useful! Minimum wage changes so frequently now and with different states with different wages, I wanted to make sure teachers could edit if they needed to. :)

Counting Back Money

I like it, just a little confused on the directions.

It takes some modeling of how to count back change with the student. I like to do this over the docu-cam. Then I release students to practice it themselves. From on their own, they figure out how much to give back and write down how many bills (i.e. how many tens, fives, and/or ones) and how much in change (i.e. how many quarters, dimes, etc). While students could just use their calculator to figure this out, it's actually much faster for them to count it back than figuring out the math.

Counting Back Money

TeresaDavison

My biggest pet peeve is people who cannot count back change, who depend on the cash register. This helps in teaching this skill. Thank you!

JWestbrook (TpT Seller)

I agree. When an employee only uses the cash register to check how much changes goes back, there is still the possibility of returning too much or too little change. Counting it back correctly is also used as a second check to ensure the customer has the right amount.
