Bank Account Board Game: A Fun, Financial Literacy Lesson for Addition, Subtraction, or Integer Practice (Grades 3-7)
Special Resources, Life Studies, Special Education Needs (SEN), Life Skills, Math, Addition and Subtraction, Addition, Subtraction, Money, Finance, Home Economics, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities, Games
Bank Account Board Game: A Fun, Financial Literacy Lesson for Addition, Subtraction, or Integer Practice (Grades 3-7) Do you want to give your students real world math practice for addition and subtraction up to 4 digits? Do you want to show them how the math they learn in the classroom is helpful in everyday life? Do you want to find a way to have them practice loads of math without even noticing? Then this financial literacy board game is perfect for you! How to Use: Print the two page handout double-sided for each student. Go through the bank account vocabulary together as a class. Then give your students time to try to match the vocabulary words to the clues. Next, talk about what actions help your bank balance and what actions hurt it, and try to think of more examples as a class. Now you are ready for the game! Print a game board for each group of 2-4 students, have six-sided dice, and small objects to use as counters. The game’s main objective is to educate students about financial literacy concepts such as spending (withdrawing) and saving (depositing) money within the context of a bank account. Each child takes turns rolling a six-sided die while using counters on the board. Students start with a $300 bank balance, and each turn leads them to a realistic scenario that increases or decreases their balance. I encourage students to use a scrap piece of paper to keep a running tally of their balance throughout the game. Although rare, some sequences of turns can result in negative balances. If this occurs, you can help your students use integers to calculate a negative balance OR create a rule that students can not have a balance below zero, so they can not complete that action and must miss. a turn. Grades to Use With: This game is perfect for students in grades 3-7 who are practicing adding and subtracting with numbers into the thousands. It can be used as a review for this math skill or in conjunction with a financial literacy unit. What's Included: 4 Page PDF: Teacher Instructions 2 Page Lesson/Worksheet 1 Page Game Board

Guided Reading Level H - Reading Labels and Names

This Guided Reading Book - Reading Labels and Names (Level H) includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: Reading Labels and Names Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Reading / Life Skills Primary Topic: Labels give facts and clues in daily life Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): H What This Book Teaches Best Labels are “like a clue” that give “important information” and “facts about an object.” Labels tell what is inside or what something is (e.g., a box labeled “Orange,” a jar labeled “strawberry jam”). Labels and names help people stay organized and find the right item (a bin labeled “Toys,” a library label that says “Fiction.”). Labels can keep people safe and help them make careful choices (a sign that says “Wet Floor.”). Reading labels helps every day because labels “give facts and solve mysteries.” Learning Goals Students will explain what the book says a label is like and what it gives (clues, information, facts). Students will describe how a label tells what is inside an object using an example from the text. Students will identify how labels help keep spaces organized and clean using details from the text. Students will explain how a label can help keep people safe, using the “Wet Floor” sign example. Students will describe how names on items (like an envelope) help people know who something is for. Key Vocabulary From the Text clue — something that helps you figure something out. information — facts that help you know something. object — a thing you can see or touch. envelope — paper cover that holds a letter. mysteries — things you are trying to figure out. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What labels do you notice that give you important information? Comprehension questions: What does the book say a label is like? Which label in the book helps keep the room clean? According to the book, how do labels help every day? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.

It was determined that the primary target audience for the content and example case studies of students and adults was high school students ages 14-18 in grades 9-12. Case studies utilized for reference were from students in their 10th and 11th grade year, included high school scenarios such as expected academic performance (i.e., transcripts) to identify which extra curricular activities students would participate in, such as: extracurricular activities (e.g., debate club, robotics); and student worksheets will have students reflect on their interests (e.g., interest in space exploration or environmental projects) and what path they would pursue through a community college or university. This resource is perfect for career education classes, guidance counseling sessions, or homeschooling activities related to getting ready for the job market after high school and the impact on their jobs in an unstable economy. The secondary audience of the content and the example case studies was all post-high school students ages 12+ including: young adults transitioning to a 4-year college, first-year college freshmen, and working adults looking to upskill/re-skill. Additionally; case studies of older adults (past PhD graduates and adults in their late 20s seeking to transition from administrative positions to logistics in the bio-tech industry) demonstrate that the resource promotes lifelong learning, investigation, and adapting to shifting technologies (e.g., AI and quantum computing).Some target classes could be the introductory college career development course; vocational training program; and adult learning/education workshops about Artificial Intelligence Ethics and skill bridging. With an emphasis on marketing to high school career preparation classes, but also demonstrate the versatility of the program to appeal to transitional learners in larger markets.
