Taxes: What Do Taxes Pay For: Income Tax, Financial Literacy, HS Math
Life Studies, Finance, Home Economics, Math, Addition and Subtraction, Money, Special Resources, Life Skills, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12, Activities, Projects, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
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 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

Discuss them with your peers, have a debate, make a list of pros and cons! Realize that you always have more options if you can think critically and creatively. Main Goal: The main goal of these prompts is to drive home the importance of understanding trade-offs in goal setting and financial planning.

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!

These high school financial literacy worksheets will show your students why compound interest is helpful for investors while also letting them practice math skills using percentages and a simple mathematic formula! How to Use: Print 4 pages for each student. Page 1 teaches students how to calculate compound interest step by step. Students need to have a basic understanding of writing percentages in decimal form and multiplying to find the percent of a number. Next, students will be given their initial investment amount & a yearly interest rate. Each student in your class can be given different values so they have to do their own unique calculations, and to allow comparisons to be made. This provides for easy differentiation as well- you can choose what percentage interest rate each student gets based on their ability. Students will calculate the amount of compound interest they earn over ten years. They can then check their calculations using the compound interest formula that is included. Next, they can use the formula to calculate compound interest over longer periods of time. Your class can compare their results- leading to an interesting class discussion (prompt questions are included). Make sure to point out how compound interest is helpful for investing and saving and detrimental for borrowing money. Finally, students reflect on their learning by writing a paragraph after the lesson. Hopefully they will leave class wanting to start a saving account!

High School Financial Literacy: Net Worth = Assets - Liabilities
Special Resources, Life Studies, Life Skills, Math, Addition and Subtraction, Addition, Subtraction, Money, Finance, Home Economics, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
This 6 Page Financial Literacy PDF teaches your students about assets, liabilities, and net worth (equity). It is an easy way to get your high school students interested in personal financial literacy and building their wealth. 3 case studies are included with calculations to complete and questions to respond to. Each person has some assets and some liabilities. Students must add each of these categories up and find the difference to see how much net worth each person has. Then they need to think about what changes each person could make to their financial habits. Perhaps one person has too much debt or someone else isn't investing much even with a high income. Students can start to see how high income does not always lead to high net worth if the person spends more than they make and has debt. On the other hand, someone with a lower income can have a high net worth if they live a frugal lifestyle and save money in investments or property equity. Just because someone "looks" rich, doesn't mean that they are! Grades to Use WIth: The actual math in this assignment is quite simple: adding and subtracting numbers to the hundred thousands. Students could do the work by hand or with a calculator. Because of this, this assignment is accessible to students in grades 7-12 in regular math classes, adult education students, and high school special education students. How to Use: Introduce the vocabulary: Assets, Liabilities, and Equity on the first page and fill in the blanks together. You could do one of the case studies together as a class and assign the other two for students to complete on their own.
