Week of April 24-28, 2017

Mighty Falcons,

Welcome to the 3rd week of the sixth six weeks! We will wrap up our final lessons this week on financial literacy and begin to regularly review for our Math STAAR. You must also be going over your math interactive notebook, notes, online material and Agilemind curriculum. This week students will use mathematical process standards to develop an economic way of thinking and problem solving useful in one's life as a knowledgeable consumer and investor. Students will compare the features and costs of a checking account 

and a debit card offered by different local financial institutions, 

distinguish between debit cards and credit cards, balance a check register that includes deposits, withdrawals, and transfers, explain why it is important to establish a positive credit history, describe the information in a credit report and how long it is retained, describe the value of credit reports to borrowers and to lenders, explain various methods to pay for college, including through savings, grants, scholarships, student loans, and work-study, compare the annual salary of several occupations requiring various levels of post- secondary education or vocational training and calculate the effects of the different annual salaries on lifetime income. Remember to ask your parents, guardians, and family members about the acquired information above, you will be surprised how many financial literacy facts you will learn and use in the near future. 

Watch the following video to review Box plots and the financial literacy videos to gain knowledge on our last lessons. Write 10 facts on each video.
