Beginner Level
Economics for Kids will go over operations utilizing decimals, budgeting, taxes, savings, etc. It will be taught over Zoom for an hour 2x a week. Some techniques used will be PowerPoint, videos, class discussions and demonstrations. Everyone in the class can share ideas, collaborate with others, and ask questions to further their knowledge. I will mostly be a facilitator in discussion, however, when it comes to teaching the material I will utilize inquiry more than anything. Students need to use critical thinking when learning. When scholars know how to solve a problem, I find it beneficial to allow them to demonstrate their knowledge to gain confidence and help other scholars grow.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to add, subtract, and multiply decimals.Students will be able to explain the importance of saving and budgeting.
