Consumer Math Activities Bundle

Consumer math is so fun to teach, and it's so important for high school students to build their financial literacy skills. Knowing how to manage personal finances empowers students as they navigate bills, budgets, taxes and interest rates, especially as they inch closer to graduation. 

 

This bundle includes a variety of activities for teaching consumer math, from working with percentages, to filing federal income taxes, and everything in between. The activities inside will strengthen student understanding of their personal finances.

 

Activities marked with an * include both printable and digital versions in their files. The digital versions were built in Google Slides or Google Forms. Links to these digital versions are found inside their PDF files.

 

I love this whole bundle of activities! Each are well designed and kept the students engaged in the material. -Rachel 

Although the students were already checked out when I took over this math class, they became engaged with the games and lessons that I used from this resource. Students made real-world connections with this material and were actively trying to make better financial decisions, in the classroom and while they planned for graduation. -Keisha 

This is a fantastic compilation of materials to use when showing students how math is so pertinent to our everyday lives. I used these materials to create a "Consumer Math Week" where my middle schoolers spent all week practicing real-life "math-driven" situations. -Samantha
