What do the taxes you pay do? This high school personal financial literacy, life skills, and applied math project is designed for your students in 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade when they are learning about all kinds of taxes and how the money collected by the government from income tax, property tax & sales tax is used in our society. How to Use: Print five pages of worksheets per student. Read through page one together and discuss the kinds of taxes that the government collects. Next, students investigate the local services their government funds with tax money. For some of these government services, it may be quite easy for your students to research a private alternative cost (for example, they find the tuition cost for a private school in their city). For other services, it will be definitely be harder to find a private alternative cost. Encourage your students to make reasonable estimates. Being exact is not crucial; the goal is for students to think about how much money it would cost to replace all the public services with private options. On the third and fourth pages, students will read about a fictional family: the Browns. They will use information and amounts provided in the simulation to total all of the expenses the Browns would have to pay out of pocket in a community that has no taxes. Would it really be better that way? Finally, on the fifth page, students will write a reflection about what they have learned about taxes from this project. Lead a class discussion to allow students to share their ideas and opinions. A complete answer key is provided for easy marking. What's Included: 7-Page PDF: Ready to Print and Use! Teacher Instructions 2 Pages: Research Local Programs Funded by Taxes and Private Alternatives 2-Page Realistic Simulation (with Spreadsheet) Reflection Answer Key Grades to Use With: This financial literacy, applied math, and life skills project is designed for your high school students in a variety of classes: consumer math, personal financial literacy, career & personal planning, applied math, or life skills.

The time before the holidays can get a little crazy in the classroom. Students are ready for a break and teachers are too! Keep your class engaged with EIGHT Days of math review! The ACTIVITIES are suitable for 5th grade and 6th grade. They are great for easy and fast sub plans. I use them as an 'end of the day carrot' that my students look forward to. They can't leave for the day without getting a step closer to finding Santa so it helps them to stay focused throughout the day so that we have time for the fun activity at the end of the day. One of the best parts: NO PREP required! This is not only great for distance learning but also great if you have run out of copies for the month and need a digital version fast... or if you just forget to make your copies for the week. (It's happened to me! - too. many things to keep track of) The pages do print beautiful in color and black and white if you have the time, but don't fret if you don't. Just assign it on Google Classroom - directions included. If you haven't taught the topic yet, it is a great mini lesson and if you have taught it, it can act as a review. (There are also some fun logic puzzles sprinkled in.) dividing decimals multiplying decimals dividing whole numbers multiplying whole numbers adding decimals subtracting decimals deducing information measurement conversions practicing with money problem solving graphing predicting and having fun! Each task builds off the next. Students will get clues as to where Santa might be hiding AFTER they correctly solve each math task. And don't worry, there is an ANSWER KEY.

The material progresses from simple, kid-friendly explanations using real-life analogies-such as recipes for data organization-to more sophisticated ideas, such as data skewness and mini data projects. As such, it is well-suited for middle schoolers, grades 5-8, who need to study visualization and averages, while high schoolers, grades 9-12, will appreciate the subjects of inference, causation, and what the future of technology holds based on these subjects. It is neither too simplistic for older children nor too advanced for younger ones, and the logic of progression allows for progressive learning.

Single vs Dual Income Budget: High School Financial Literacy Budgeting
Life Studies, Finance, Home Economics, Math, Addition and Subtraction, Money, Special Resources, Life Skills, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets, Projects, Activities
This high school financial literacy project lets your students tackle a real-world budgeting decision families make: should both parents work, or should one stay home to do childcare? Students will use critical-thinking and problem-solving skills as they work with these realistic budgets (single income budget vs dual income budget). This task can show your students in 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade how financial literacy and math skills can be incredibly useful in everyday life! How to Use: Print five pages for each student. Go through the first page together and introduce the family in the simulation. Students use the income and income tax information to calculate the net income. Give students time to add up the monthly expenses in each budget (single-income vs dual-income). Discuss what expenses change when both parents work and if those seem reasonable or not. Have students complete the calculations to compare the two budgets on the fourth page. NOTE: In this simulation, there is almost no difference in money left over if both parents work since the extra income is used to pay for childcare, a second car, a cleaner, etc. That does not mean this is always the case! Use the prompts on the fifth page to have a class discussion about this topic. Then, students write their final opinion in a paragraph to sum up their learning. They may have ideas for how to change this budget or scenario to make having both parents work be more financially beneficial. I have included blank spreadsheets as well if you want your students to create their own budgets using salaries and expenses from your geographical area. What’s Included: 9-Page PDF: Ready to Print and Use! Teacher Instructions Introduction to Kat and Alex and their family Single-Income Budget Spreadsheet (with expenses included) Dual-Income Budget Spreadsheet (with expenses included) Comparison of the Budgets Worksheet Reflection (with discussion prompts) Two Blank Budget Spreadsheets (single and dual income) Complete Answer Key Grades to Use With: Grades 9-12 General Studies or Grades 11-12 Special Ed Family and Consumer Sciences/Family Studies Life Skills Applied Math or Consumer Math Career and Personal Planning Financial Literacy Math Skills Required: Only intermediate math skills are required to complete this project: Adding & subtracting money amounts to the hundred thousands (salaries) Dividing by 12 to find monthly amounts (with decimals) An understanding of integers

Here is a ready-to-go bundle with four fun real-life activities to incorporate into your unit plan. 1) Statistical Questions: Students are taught what a statistical question is: a question that has numerical answers that vary.. 8 questions are included. Students need to identify if they are statistical questions or not. If they are, students think of how the data might be collected. If they are not, students explain what aspects of a statistical question are missing. Finally, students write 4 questions of their own (one should not be a statistical question) and they trade with a friend to see if they can identify the odd one out. 2) Dot Plots and Histograms: Students will collect numerical data through a survey and create their own dot plots and histograms to display their findings! This gives them a sense of ownership over their learning, and it is a great way to assess their skills! Discussion questions and self- assessment are included. 3) Math Stations: Statistics and Probability: Station 3 in particular has students create a dot plot and calculate the mean, median and mode of provided data. They can also do the probability stations if you want to address those skills. 4) Mean, Median and Interquartile Range of Hourly Wages: From a cashier to a taxi driver to an account to a CEO, students are given 10 realistic hourly wages. First, they create a histogram to display the data. Next, they write the wages in order from smallest to largest. They use this information to calculate the mean, the median, and the interquartile range. After that, they eliminate the outlier (the CEO wage) and recalculate the same statistics. Discussion questions are included.

4-Week High School Acounting Data Modeling & Payroll Compliance Unit
Math, Addition and Subtraction, Decimals, Fractions, Graphing, Money, Multiplication and Division, Percentages, Research, Resources for Teachers, Homeschool Resources, High School, Teacher Tools, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts, Word Problems
As a homeschool mom and curriculum creator, this 4-week unit actually began at my kitchen table. My teenage daughter wanted to understand how real businesses manage money behind the scenes, but every resource I found felt overly complicated or painfully dry. So instead of settling for another boring textbook, I created this hands-on business simulation myself. In this unit, your teen will step into the role of a corporate data auditor and learn how to build responsive spreadsheet systems completely from scratch. Along the way, they will connect real-world business skills with practical math and professional software applications in a way that finally makes sense. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: Step-by-step corporate accounting office scenarios PowerPoint presentations with notes Instructor teaching objectives Complete grading tools TOPICS COVERED: Break-even modeling Payroll regulations and corporate procedures Advanced compensation Internal auditing Rather than assigning repetitive worksheets and busywork, this unit encouraged my daughter to think like capable young professional and problem solve by solving real confidence using spreadsheets in authentic business scenarios. My own daughter learned these exact spreadsheet systems, and watching her develop practical, real-world skills was incredibly rewarding. She was able to articulate what adjustments needed to be made and why she made them. Because of that experience, I wanted to create something that would give other homeschool families the same sense of accomplishment and growth. If you and your homeschooler enjoy this resource, I would truly appreciate you leaving a review. Thank you so much for your support, and I hope this unit becomes a valuable part of your homeschool journey!

Financial Literacy: Tax Refunds from RRSPs, IRAs and 401ks Worksheets
Special Resources, Life Studies, Life Skills, Math, Money, Finance, Home Economics, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
Help your high-school students gain real-life financial literacy skills as they learn about income tax refunds from RRSPs in Canada or 401ks and IRAs in the US. This guided lesson includes: - Information about registered retirement accounts (RRSPs) in Canada and 401ks and IRAs in the USA in simple, easy-to-understand language - An example of how to calculate tax savings when investing in registered accounts in countries that use progressive tax rates - Four scenarios of increasing difficulty for students to work on independently or in pairs (answer key included) - Follow-up written questions to help students think more deeply about the pros and cons of registered savings accounts Grades: This lesson is appropriate for high school classes, life skills classes, and adult education. It requires students to have an understanding of percent written in decimal form. For example, finding 26% of $12,000 by multiplying 12,000 by 0.26 How to Use: Use the first page as a lesson for your students. Teach them about registered accounts in Canada and the US, why the government encourages them, and what benefits they have. This is where you can introduce the idea of tax refunds. People pay income taxes all year based on their earnings, but if they can reduce their income through deductions (for example by investing in a registered account) they will get some of that tax money they already paid back. Also introduce the idea of progressive taxes and how you pay more tax on the top end of your income. Go through the sample problem step-by-step on your whiteboard to ensure students understand all the calculations required to determine how much gross tax and net tax a person pays. Once students feel comfortable, let them work on the sample problems independently or in small groups.
