Banking Math : for today's world (Money Chatham, David<br />

560.560<br />

Smart Series)<br />

This reproducible program uses realistic math scenarios to teach middle <strong>and</strong> high school students basic math<br />

concepts <strong>and</strong> financial responsibility. Written for students who struggle <strong>with</strong> word problems, the 100<br />

one-paragraph banking math stories are both interesting <strong>and</strong> easy to read. Lesson plans introduce students to<br />

the banking process using motivating activities. The first 20 stories are presented in two levels. In Level 1, the<br />

equations are provided. In Level 2, the students have to determine which math operation to use. Easy-to-follow<br />

math activities prepare students for word problems on state <strong>and</strong> national st<strong>and</strong>ardized math tests.<br />

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS<br />

After carefully reading each low-level, high-interest banking story, students are asked to do the following:<br />

- draw a line through unnecessary information<br />

- highlight essential information<br />

- show computations in the 'Do the Math' space<br />

- perform a banking transaction<br />

- record the transaction on the check register page<br />

AGE-APPROPRIATE TOPICS<br />

The first 60 stories cover scenarios that middle <strong>and</strong> high school students might experience in their everyday lives.<br />

On the last worksheet of this section, the students 'graduate' from high school. 40 additional stories cover<br />

banking scenarios that typically occur after graduation.<br />

Banking Stories 1-20 (Level 1)<br />

The math equation for each of the 20 stories is provided on the worksheet for the students to calculate. After<br />

working the math, students perform the needed banking transaction.<br />

Banking Stories 1-20 (Level 2)<br />

Using the same stories as Level 1, students now have to decide which math operation to use (addition,<br />

subtraction, multiplication, or division), show their math, <strong>and</strong> perform the banking transactions.<br />

Banking Stories (21-60)<br />

40 new word problem stories are introduced. Students have to decide which math operation to use, show their<br />

math, <strong>and</strong> perform the banking transactions.<br />

Banking Stories (61-100)<br />

40 new word problem stories are presented for the students to complete, but the scenarios now focus on the<br />

students' lives after high school.<br />

Includes:<br />

Banking Math binder <strong>with</strong> lesson plans, an answer key, a reproducible check register page, <strong>and</strong> 120 reproducible<br />

Banking Math worksheets.<br />

Optional:<br />

10 realistic check registers are sold separately.<br />
