My Project

The board games that I have selected will assist the students with an understanding of:

1.

The Stock Market through flashcards for day trading, technical analysis, and patterning concepts.

2. Entrepreneurship by developing critical thinking and decision-making skills.

3. Business Management where math, geography, and basic profit and loss will be demonstrated through strategic completion.

4. Accounting with particular attention to cash flows.

5. Careers and the basics of pay by making and spending money before it matters.

6. Personal Finance showing players how to build wealth in a diverse world.

Players are inspired to make informed financial and career decisions, with lessons that can help overcome systemic barriers to wealth. Gamification of financial literacy concepts helps those students who learn for a more hands-on project-based approach. By helping me add these resources to my classroom, you will assist students who struggle with a traditional learning environment to understand the financial concepts that will affect them for the rest of their lives.

It is important to give all students access to educational tools that will assist them with understanding these concepts even though they may not learn traditionally.
