Detailed Information
In today's era of interdisciplinary studies, this new title created
specifically for math teachers shows how mathematics concepts and
knowledge can be used to develop economic and personal financial
understandings. Mathematics teachers need not have a background
in economics in order to implement the curriculum. Our nationwide
network can be called upon to provide support with any questions
that may arise. The 12 featured lessons can be applied to almost
any math course. Each lesson is correlated to the National
Standards for Mathematics and includes:
- Numbers and Operations
- Algebra
- Geometry
- Measurement
- Data Analysis and Probability
- Problem Solving
- Reasoning and Proof
- Communications Connections
Each lesson plan includse student activities, overhead transparencies,
and background information on the economic content and how it relates to
mathematics. Extension activities where students can apply their
mathematics and economics knowledge to other situations are provided.
