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!

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. :)

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.

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.

What are the objectives of this unit? This sounds like it is well put together, but I am trying to see if it will fit in to the required tasks on my syllabus. Thanks so much!

Oh you are so right! I'm attaching this information here and in time (and when my time allows it) I will attach it separately in this zip. Keep in mind you may want to edit the objectives and add items as you see fit! :)

Thanks,
Ellen
