The Carbon Based Teacher, the Life and Times of a Technology Integrator
Imagine this scenario:
Teacher: Hi, I need to do a lesson on FILL IN THE BLANK, can you help me.
You: What is your timetable?
Teacher: Sometime today?
You: Give me 30 minutes 
So you begin the process.
Here is what I think we should do.
- Take 30 – 45 minutes to come up with a lesson idea
- You can work alone, with a partner(s)
- Use any technology resources that you have in your mind or from the people at your table
- Post your ideas to the comment section of this blog
- Name can be a nom de plume
- Email can be made up
- Click submit and wait for me to moderate your comment – I am not really going to judge it, but it is how my blog is setup
Outcomes:
- We will have many ideas about a topic from various vantage points and at different levels
- We will pull together great ideas from great people
- We will have lesson ideas to share with our districts

Checking Account Math
Learning the basics about a checking account and how to maintain one can help children learn that a checking account provides a method of payment of money for the goods and services that we need. This lesson gives students experience with opening a checking account, making deposits of money into a checking account, and writing checks to pay for purchases. This lesson also provides practice in the basic math skills of addition and subtraction using a checking account transaction record.

In response to the country’s low financial literacy rates among teens, the Treasury Department, working with the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Education at UM-St. Louis, developed a supplemental middle school math curriculum that teaches the importance of sound personal finance to students in grades 6 through 9 and works as a skills building block to equip youth for a future when they will be required to handle even more complex concepts. Money Math lesson topics include
income, saving, taxes, and budgeting. The launch of this important middle-school financial education program comes on the heels of Alan Greenspan’s recent call-to-action urging the teaching of basic financial management skills to kids beginning at a young age.
Money Math: Lessons for Life is available for download and printing in PDF format.
