Banking Math is a reproducible program
that uses realistic math scenarios to teach middle and high school
students basic math concepts and financial responsibility. Written
for students who struggle with word problems, the 100 one-paragraph
banking math stories are both interesting and easy to read.
Lesson plans introduce students to the banking process using
motivating activities. The first 20 stories are presented in two
levels. In Level 1, the equations are provided. In Level 2, the
students have to determine which math operation to use.
Easy-to-follow math activities prepare students for word problems on
state and national standardized math tests.
Features
After carefully reading each low-level, high-interest banking story,
students are asked to do the following:
• draw a line through unnecessary information
• highlight essential information
• show computations in the “Do the Math” space
• perform a banking transaction
• record the transaction on the check register page
Age-Appropriate Topics
The first 60 stories cover scenarios that middle and high school
students might experience in their everyday lives. On the last
worksheet of this section, the students ''graduate'' from high
school. 40 additional stories cover banking scenarios that typically
occur after graduation.
Banking Stories 1-20 (Level 1)
The math equation for each of the 20 stories is provided on the
worksheet for the students to calculate. After working the math,
students perform the needed banking transaction.
Banking Stories 1-20 (Level 2)
Using the same stories as Level 1, students now have to decide which
math operation to use (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or
division), show their math, and perform the banking transactions.
Banking Stories (21-60)
40 new word problem stories are introduced. Students have to decide
which math operation to use, show their math, and perform the
banking transactions.
Banking Stories (61-100)
40 new word problem stories are presented for the students to
complete, but the scenarios now focus on the students’ lives after
high school.
Includes
Banking Math binder with lesson plans, an answer key, a
reproducible check register page, and 120 reproducible Banking
Math worksheets.
