All students want to know how to pay for their lunches, go shopping with their friends, buy a soda from a machine or make a purchase at the gas station. This project will allow me the necessary resources to not only teach/practice money skills but also help to build the self-esteem needed to participate in society. Being 6th graders with cognitive disabilities they already face many obstacles in trying to complete state math standards. During station time, my students are able to practice skills they need and can experience success in the real world. All of my students are passionate about learning how to count money.
The "Money Matters" station resources will allow my students to learn and practice real life money skills in a fun way. I believe we can all agree that the most important math skill every student needs is the ability to use their money effectively. My students need extra practice and a fun way to master these skills. Providing these resources to our weekly stations will not only allow for money skills practice but empower my students to participate with their peers in society.
