My Project

These boards will allow for collaborative learning while introducing and reviewing concepts in the Personal Finance curriculum. The topics within the game include government regulation, financial lending, and property acquisition and management.

While allowing students to play and compete with one another, I can introduce and present examples of real life situations.

The concepts of competition and compromise will prepare my students to become entrepreneurs and to increase their net worth.

My students are mostly economically disadvantaged and have difficulty grasping the concepts of interest, dividends, and ownership. This game will help them understand!
