Taking Charge of My Cash

"Taking Charge of My Cash". The primary objective of this program is for students to grasp and retain the applications of math standards and benchmarks to real-life money management. Students will learn budgeting, how to get the most out of checking and savings accounts, and financial traps involved in short-term "payday" loans, rent-to-own programs, and credit cards. Students will write and perform songs about the topic in many forms, including blues, rhythm and blues, rock, and rap.
