Description
In today’s fast moving and technical world, we have forgotten to instruct our future parents, workers, ordinary citizens about the basics of day to day living. Finding a job, getting a paycheck, opening up a checking account, paying the bills or budgeting, going to restaurants and calculating the tip, buying a home and getting a mortgage are just a few of the everyday experiences our students will meet throughout their lives. Today the classroom educator is compelled to meet Common Core Standards in the classroom and often ignores the most basic mathematical concepts and skills that affect everyone.
In “Earning a Paycheck” I will create activities and an atmosphere that will improve our future’s ability to cope with everyday needs while becoming confident and capable members of society.
The activity presented here will concentrate on the prospects of finding a job and determining an individual’s paycheck at the end of a certain period of time (week, bi-weekly, or yearly).
An answer guide is provided. The “Earning a Paycheck” is a common core activity of life experiences.
