Money Math: Lessons for Life
Quotes
from Teachers and Educators
"Everyone wins with Money
Math! It is an excellent resource for middle school math teachers plus
students learn necessary math and life skills. It is an interesting way
to make personal financial literacy come alive and make math 'real'. I
wish I had learned about money with Money Math when I was in school."
Dr. Janet E. Hawkes, Cornell University Educational Resources Program
"We are working very hard
in our district to align the curriculum and to enrich it with real-life
problem solving that is relevant to student's lives and needs. This looks
like it will fit in very well."

lesson--The Secret to Becoming a Millionaire--with my 7th and 8th grade
students and they absolutely loved it. I did too."

"Teaching personal finance
is like teaching students how to use computers. In both cases, students
learn by doing and in both cases, the subject has immediate relevance
to their lives if taught effectively."
Dr. Lewis Mandell, University at Buffalo School of Management
"I taught all four lessons
in my classroom; their realistic approach made my students think about
their future goals. The lessons and their concepts inspired a dialogue
between my students and their parents."
