How many times do we as teachers hear, “When will I ever use this?!” Last year, Pennsylvania joined 25 other states to require all students in the class of 2030+ to complete at least one semester of personal finance before graduation. We intentionally incorporate a variety of math topics within the Personal Finance curriculum to help students answer these questions of “when” and “why.”
As math educators in 2024 we strive to find a balance between mastering procedural fluency and conceptual understanding. We want our students to have strong automaticity while becoming efficient problem solvers in the real world. Participants will leave with practical tools to apply in their classrooms and ideas for how to integrate fluency practice into everyday lessons.
