About the store
Hi, I'm Tyler, and thanks for visiting my store! I'm a high school teacher with extensive experience having taught Economics & Personal Finance, U.S. History, Government and Algebra.
Prior to teaching, I worked in a corporate role where I was putting decks together regularly for a variety of different audiences. I try to approach teaching the same way I would any other job in that any material I create, I would be comfortable with anyone seeing it, whether it be the CEO or the school principal. I take a lot of pride in producing high quality teaching material because if I were a student, that's what I'd want to look at in class, and if I were buying from another teacher, that's what I'd want to be buying.
Please always feel free to message me with any comments or questions about my material, and I always appreciate reviews!

The purpose of this product is to try to give students an idea of what level of diversification may be ideal. There are six different scenarios included in the deck, each of which produces a different compounded annual return over

Investing Slides
This is a 29-slide deck introducing basic investing concepts from the approach of the 5 W's (Who, What, When, Where, Why). I find this to be an extremely useful approach, particularly because many students don't understand the difference between an investing account and an actual investment (many think an IRA is an investment). Feel free to reach out with questions!

Comparing Car Loans
This worksheet can help illustrate for students the importance of interest rates and contract length when determining how much you actually pay for a car. Many people simply look at the monthly payment when determining what they deem to be affordable, but it's important to understand how much you're paying in total when you choose to finance a vehicle. Students will need the monthly payment formula for completing this worksheet. If you do not have that formula, please reference my interest form

1929 Stock Market Crash Activity
This is a great way to illustrate to students what it was like to be investing in the 1920s.

In this activity, students get to see what happened to the price of six of the most prominent companies of the time: RCA, General Motors, U.S. Steel, Coca-Cola, General Electr

Teaching style
I use a variety of different teaching methods, but you will find a lot of slide decks in my store because that's how I'm most comfortable introducing a new concept. I try to incorporate games and activities whenever possible, and you will see some of those throughout my store, whether it be Timeline, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Name that President, etc. I also try my best to come up with analogies for difficult topics, which is why you'll see things in my store such as Burgernomics, Monetary Policy Football, Organ Failure vs Banking Crisis, etc. I'm always trying to come up with new games and activities for my classes, so I'm constantly adding new material to my store!
