DiepThinkers

Fun before/after Thanksgiving break project. Students practice subtracting and adding with decimals, calculating percent and interest, as well as learn financial literacy (understanding the dangers of credit cards) in this simple activity. Note: students will need access to internet to find the online deals (or have students bring in their own discounted ads)

Students practice calculating simple interest by calculating the interest on their mortgage and car payments. Perfect for 5th, 6th, and 6th graders! Practice converting from percents to decimals and multiplying.
