The Value of Coins (Kit of Digital Assets)
http://www.kitzu.com/
The Value of Coins (Kit of Digital Assets)
This kit describes the value of the penny, nickel, dime and quarter. It also shows some of the different combinations that equal the same values.
“Students and teachers around the world can access pre-made collections, or "kits," of various digital assets - still images, background music, narratives, video and text. Each kit is built around a common theme, or curricular topic.
For students, this becomes the construction paper of the 21st century --allowing them to create reports and projects filled with rich, immersive media for communicating their vision of whatever subjects they chose.
As they master the technology, they will progress from building projects with supplied materials to projects where they find or create their own resources -- a strategy that results in truly authentic assessment as measured by the projects produced."

What Can I Afford?
http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/lessons/afford/index.html
What Can I Afford?
In this lesson, students will explore the costs of various cell phone plans based on a vignette that appears in the show TV411, Episode #122. The rate structures of cell phone plans represent linear functions that students will compare by graphing in order to determine which plan would result in the greatest savings. Then, students will use these skills to compare checking account options to find the one that best suits their needs. The lesson plan concludes with students comparing various types of banking accounts to determine which one would yield the highest returns if the money saved from the cell phones were placed in different accounts.

Students learn about why the government taxes, where the money goes, and how different income brackets pay different taxes.

Money Origami
Folding paper money (or "money origami") is my one true creative output. My best original designs include spiders, eyeglasses, sailboats, and framed portraits. I got started in high school when I learned how to make a ring out of a dollar bill. I generally make these items to leave as tips.

Game to help learn about Thai money
http://www.shambles.net/loosechange/lchangebaht.zip
A game to help with learning about money in Thailand. This program uses Thai current coins and notes.
You will need to download the software .. a large file at about 1.9M (sorry) and for Window PCs only ... unless your Mac is running a PC emulator.
You will then need to unzip the file and install it on your computer ... it all sounds very complicated but should be easy.
The games instructions are simple in English ... so should also help you learn a little English.
Would be useful for ESL and young students.

Money : 4 2 Explore
http://eduscapes.com/42explore/money.htm
This web project provides "four to explore" for each topic.
On each page you'll find definitions, activities, 4 good starting points, and many more links and resources for the thematic topic.
In some cases, we've listed more than four websites on a particular topic. For example, we might provide a few for younger readers and others for more advanced learners.
Each school, classroom, and teacher is unique. As such we didn't try to provide specific activities for particular grade levels. Instead we suggest that teachers explore each link, then design specific, developmentally appropriate activities such as discussion questions, small group activities, or webquests to fit the needs of their curriculum.
The links on this site are safe for children.
