Middle School Monthly Budget Project
In this project students will choose from 3 options for jobs, housing, transportation and food shopping to make a monthly budget. Students will practice financial decision making and opportunity cost to see how their choices impact their monthly budget. Highly scaffolded, this project can be done in conjunction with class discussion or independently. The choices are based on cost of living in Philadelphia but options can be personalized to where you live and what is relevant to your students.

Presentation Rubric
Without a rubric, students felt my grading of their presentations was arbitrary and unfair. I find this rubric for presentations helps keep me consistent and fair. I like to use a highlighter to fill out the presentation rubric. The point values can be changed to meet the needs of your classroom. I also like to be environmentally friendly so I have two rubrics on one sheet of paper so that I can cut the paper and half and use it to grade two students at the same time.
