Not only were the books well received by the students, other faculty members were able to use the books in their classrooms. There is a natural interest in finances among middle school students! They were curious and interested in learning about how to manage their finances, how to bank, and how to earn interest. These are topics that are sadly not covered very much in our time-crunched math classrooms.\r\n\r\nBecause of the time crunch, some of my students asked to bring books home to read.
