Students can work through this interactive website to pick where they will live, their occupation industry, choose their budgeted expenses for living arrangements, transportation, food spending, shopping, utilities, entertainment, personal expenses, student loan payment, and other expenses. They can work through this many times to see the outcome of various scenarios and living arrangements.

This is an interactive questionnaire for students to learn about where the "fit" in the Canadian (or provincial) economies, how they compare to the rest of the population. It compares our SK population to the rest of Canada, job interests to where the rest of Canadians are employed and budget choices to others. It's interesting for students to see how the statistics of other Canadians and how they compare (across ages and geographies).

In this lesson, students discover the entire process that goes into designing a rocket for any customer. In prior lessons, students learned how rockets work, but now they learn what real-world decisions engineers have to make when designing and building a rocket. They learn about important factors such as supplies, ethics, deadlines and budgets. Also, students learn about the Engineering process, and recognize that the first design is almost never the final design. Re-Engineering is a critical step in creating a rocket.

Jeux et scénarios en littératie financière
Établir un budget, prioriser ses dépenses, épargner son argent et vivre selon ses moyens sont toutes des connaissances et des compétences qu’englobe la littératie financière. Une personne qui possède des compétences financières peut mieux gérer son argent et prendre des décisions financières plus saines.

Les activités présentées dans le jeu ont été conçues pour soutenir l’engagement et les initiatives ministérielles en ce qui concerne l’aptitude des élèves à utiliser leur plein potentiel.

This is an American site that provides free personal finance curriculum and professional development to more than 30,000 middle and high school teachers reaching over 2 million students. Even though it is American, there are plenty of uses for this in Canada as well!

Click the curriculum tab at the top to see all of your options for resources!

There is also an arcade full of games (button at the top middle of the screen)!

There is also a Math button at the top of the screen for math related lessons. E.g, unit price, compound interest

Three full course options are available for high school and one for middle school.

There is also current events under FINCAP Friday; as well as question of the day, unit review, podcasts, library and assessments.

In The Payoff game, play the role of Alex or Jess, two up-and-coming video bloggers who are preparing for a life-changing video competition while managing their finances and handling unexpected events. In the immersive game, developed by Visa, help Alex and Jess make smart financial decisions within the tight three-day deadline and complete their video for the competition.

Using their knowledge of the phases of matter, the scientific method, and polymers, student teams work as if they are chemical engineers to optimize the formula for slime. Hired by the fictional company, Slime Productions, students are challenged to modify the chemical composition of the basic formula for slime to maximize its "bounce factor."

The difference between an architect and an engineer is sometimes confusing because their roles in building design can be similar. Students experience a bit of both professions by following a set of requirements and meeting given constraints as they create a model parking garage. They experience the engineering design process first-hand as they design, build and test their models. They draw a blueprint for their design, select the construction materials and budget their expenditures. They also test their structures for strength and find their maximum loads.

This editable excel template allows users to document and track personal monthly investments, savings, income and expenses.

In this project students will use their math skills to determine how much money they can make in a minimum wage job, and are then given the opportunity to try to build a budget based on their income.

This project will also give students an opportunity to reflect on some of the difficulties that may occur as they try to budget based on minimum wage and the choices and sacrifices that may need to be made.

I use this assignment whenever I teach Personal Finance. There is no better way to teach budgeting skills and the power of money than to have the students track and record their spending for five months. This is probably the most powerful activity that I have used in teaching this course.

Students learn about material reuse by designing and building the strongest and tallest towers they can, using only recycled materials. They follow design constraints and build their towers to withstand earthquake and high wind simulations.

In this activity, students revisit the Pop Rockets activity from Lesson 3. This time, however, the design of their pop-rockets will be limited by budgets and supplies. They will get a feel for the limitations of a real engineering project as well as an opportunity to redesign and retest their rockets.

Students learn about the major factors that comprise the design and construction cost of a modern bridge. Before a bridge design is completed, engineers provide overall cost estimates for construction of the bridge. Students learn about the components that go into estimating the total cost, including expenses for site investigation, design, materials, equipment, labor and construction oversight, as well as the trade-off between a design and its cost.
