This project was created for a consumer math class. It has the students selecting 3 stocks, and buying different amounts based on their budget (I chose budgets and had them draw from a hat). Students will then track the 3 stocks for a month (I have them back track dates on Yahoo! Finance's History tab), and then graphing their gains or losses. Students will then finish by summarizing their month.
This was created for a Consumer Math Course. It has students research, and create a budget for a Big Life Event (a wedding, a baby, or two vacations for a family of 4). It provides a list of essential items for each option, and leaves a few blank for students to add their own items. It also has them look at the different qualities for items, and budget in different situations.
