Money Management
Let's talk money. This book provides practical advice and great practice activities to assist the development of money management skills. It promotes co-operative activities and blends money management skills into existing curricula. Ideas and activities provide a setting where many objectives can be integrated as well as interesting, relevant and motivational to students. Rather than offering a "get rich" plan, this resource provides a tool for helping students think about how they can manage what money they have, or will have.
