課堂經歷
"Congratulations, you're an adult! You have your own job, your own home, and make your own rules! You have your life all figured out, but how will you handle when unexpected life events happen?" In this class, learners will be learning without knowing it! Learners will use their math and critical thinking skills while playing a game I created called "Adulting" to learn about personal finance. They will play the regular version of the game while I direct them and use opportunities that come up as teaching moments about money management and credit. There is no need for a second screen, as I share the game board through screen share and move the "pieces" of the game for them. On learners' first class, a random job, goal, and housing will be chosen. As they navigate through the game, learners decide whether or not they will pay for expenses and try to avoid "unexpected events". But just as in life, they never know when or what unexpected life event will occur! When this happens, learners will have options to earn extra income, negotiate with "family and friends" (other players), or take out credit. Each week learner's will play as many rounds as time allows, normally 2 rounds. At the end of class, we will discuss the results of the game to determine strategies that may work better the next time they play the game. As an ongoing weekly class, learners will pick up where they left off previously with the same job, goal, housing, money, and credit obligations they were left with. Newly enrolled learners will be able to jump right into the game with previously enrolled learners. This is a highly interactive class. US dollar currency is used in the game. The Adulting printable file WILL NOT be sent to learners in this class format.
學習目標
Learners will develop important financial literacy skills that they can use throughout their entire life: Calculating money, determining needs vs. wants, achieving goals, having a savings account, and properly using credit.
其他詳情
供應清單
Learners will need a note-taking sheet that will be provided, a pencil, a calculator, and 1 standard die. Optional (but highly suggested) is play money (either already on hand or printed from the file that will be sent).
