Consumer Price Index (CPI): A Measure of Inflation: Financial Literacy and Math Lesson
Special Resources, Life Studies, Life Skills, Math, Percentages, Decimals, Money, Finance, Home Economics, Business, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
This financial literacy lesson uses information from Canada’s Consumer Price Index . Students: - watch a video and take notes to learn what the Consumer Price Index is, how it is calculated, and what it is used for - learn how to do a simplified inflation calculation (no compounding): This involves order of operations, fractions, division, and percentages written in decimal form - calculate inflation on a practice weighted ”basket” of goods - calculate the true inflation on eight everyday items since 2019: using the internet to check the current year's prices This lesson could easily work in American classrooms too, as the concepts are the same. Just ask your students to research prices in Canada (online) when doing the comparison to maintain consistency. Math Skills Required: Students need to understand percentages written as decimals. The calculations involved require subtraction and division and can be done with a calculator. Answer Key Included Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed to be accessible to students in any high school math, life skills, business, or economics class. It also could be used in grade 7 to address proportional relationships, ratios, and percentages. Standards: CCSS7.RP.A.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error. CCSSMP4 Model with mathematics. Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace. In early grades, this might be as simple as writing an addition equation to describe a situation. In middle grades, a student might apply proportional reasoning to plan a school event or analyze a problem in the community. By high school, a student might use geometry to solve a design problem or use a function to describe how one quantity of interest depends on another. Mathematically proficient students who can apply what they know are comfortable making assumptions and approximations to simplify a complicated situation, realizing that these may need revision later.

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 assignment teaches students about assets, liabilities, and net worth (equity). It is a great way to get your high school students interested in personal financial literacy and building 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. Answer key included.

Debit Cards and Credit Cards may look similar, but they are extremely different! When teaching financial literacy to your students, don't take the basics for granted!
