Help me give my students things that can help them learn real-world math and financial literacy. They will do budget projects and explore the use of math beyond the classroom.

My Project
I will use materials at different reading levels so more students can gain real-world math skills and financial literacy.
My students perform at several levels below grade level for math and reading, so differentiation and project-based learning will work best for them.
Financial literacy is a skill that they all need to develop. Learning how to read a paystub, pay bills online, and graph a layout of home projects will make math a skill they will more readily embrace. I know my students will be thankful for any help to make math more meaningful for them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
