This course is designed to provide special education students with skill development in a variety of math units to assist in acquiring personal finance, math for everyday life principles (home, community and shopping) and math in the workplace. Students will learn skills to manage their own banking, budgeting, check writing and understanding their paycheck. The implementation of these principles will enable students to apply decision making skills to become conscientious consumers, savers, money managers, and citizens. This course is designed to facilitate alternate academic learning outcomes appropriate to the instructional needs of the student, as documented in the Individualized Education Program (IEP). This course is linked to the general education curriculum; however, the student will require a different scope and sequence, adapted and modified materials.
