Over the past two terms, we mastered important financial skills, from quick calculations to long-term planning. We learned that being financially literate means being a detective 
(spotting deals), a planner 
(making budgets), and a critical thinker 
(avoiding money traps)!
We improved our ability to handle complex transactions and calculate costs and change accurately. We became Discount Detectives, learning how to apply percentages to find the sale price, and even how to work backward to find the original price!
Our group project required us to plan a significant financial event for small business.
Project Summary
- Our Project Goal Was: To make a cookie business
- The Biggest Expense We Budgeted For Was: Coconut oil
- The Most Important Math Skill We Used Was: Adding all of the totals
My Personal Takeaway
Before this unit, I thought money management was just about budgeting.
Now, I understand that good financial literacy also involves saving and thinking of how much money you have and what you need for the business.
I feel most confident now when calculating budgets
