money in a fun, interactive way, covering concepts like
saving, budgeting, earning, and making choices.

money, starting from barter, going through the important stages until reaching the use of
current money. They will use the information obtained in class, in their books and personal
research at home. Using vocabulary and visual support. You will be shown a table of rubrics.

buy.
