Description
This is a math-centered financial literacy project designed for 7th-10th grade. It challenges students to create their own businesses, as well as manage the finances that come along with self-employment! Students will create equations using real-life situations and will learn basic economic vocabulary along the way. They will be tasked to use graphic design to build their brand as well. This project includes a checklist(directions), an expenses page, a guided page to calculate profits, a rubric, and a vocabulary reference sheet. I would say most of the math used in this project is about 8th-grade level.

CCSS7.EE.B.4
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
CCSS7.EE.B.4a
Solve word problems leading to equations of the form 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 = 𝘳 and 𝘱(𝘹 + 𝘲) = 𝘳, where 𝘱, 𝘲, and 𝘳 are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?
CCSS8.EE.C.8b
Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3𝘹 + 2𝘺 = 5 and 3𝘹 + 2𝘺 = 6 have no solution because 3𝘹 + 2𝘺 cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6.
CCSS8.EE.C.8c
Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.
