Middle School Monthly Budget Project
In this project students will choose from 3 options for jobs, housing, transportation and food shopping to make a monthly budget. Students will practice financial decision making and opportunity cost to see how their choices impact their monthly budget. Highly scaffolded, this project can be done in conjunction with class discussion or independently. The choices are based on cost of living in Philadelphia but options can be personalized to where you live and what is relevant to your students.
