Matt Stephenson is back and joins students to explain the who, what, and how of personal finance. Whether your students have birthday money, an allowance, or a job on the weekends, they will benefit from this session. Students will learn and compare economic terms. They will also use math skills and an income vs. expenses formula to solve real-world scenarios. In addition, Matt will show students graphic organizers to help them get started planning and managing their own personal finances. This is a great opportunity for students to learn social studies, math and life skills.
