| Dollars and Sense II Lesson 6 |
|
|
Author(s):

Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
This lesson (Lesson 6) contains five computer simulations designed to broaden students’ ability to manage long-term installment loans as part of their larger personal finances. Building on their new understanding of compounding Interest, students will evaluate the impact of three real world systems over the life of the loan: DEPRECIATION (where the value of an item or property falls over time at a regular rate); APPRECIATION (where value increases); and Net annual INCOME GROWTH (where personal buying power increases). Students will revisit the different types of Installment Loans from Lesson 4 to experiment with and evaluate the effects of changing VALUE and INCOME on their decisions about whether or not to pursue Installment Loans.
Complex Systems Connection: Short and Long Term Conflicts
Managing money, in personal finances or in running a business, often involves setting both short-term and long-term goals. Sometimes goals are in conflict between these timeframes, such as spending now versus saving/investing for future financial well-being. The lessons in Dollars and Sense II illustrate both immediate and long-term impacts, both beneficial (to savers) and harmful (to debtors) of compound interest on overall financial health |

Building on the introduction to credit card use in Lesson 3, Lesson 5 contains two computer hands-on simulations that are designed to help students extend their understanding of real world, ongoing credit card use and its relationship to one’s overall personal finances. The simulations challenge students to both create and then address personal scenarios of interest while further managing ongoing credit card use in the larger context of saving, spending, and savings goals.

Lesson 3 contains two computer “hands-on” simulations designed to introduce students to the basics of how credit card interest charges work. In this lesson students will experience how the costs of credit card borrowing can quickly escalate, sometimes beyond their control!

Subtitle: Teachers learning together for student success with Systems Thinking: A thoughtful approach to the Common Core.
This booklet contains lesson plans in Early Reading, Middle School Math, and High School Non-fiction Texts.
Complex Systems Connection: Incorrect High-Leverage Policies/Short and Long Term Conflicts: Financial Planning Life Scenarios-Few things are as relevant to high school students as how they spend their money. The Robinsons and the Meltons are two families that earn the same income, live in the same neighborhood, are of the same age, and have two children each. Yet the Robinsons are six times wealthier than the Meltons. Students use systems thinking tools to analyze these real-life scenarios to determine key principles to personal wealth.

| CO2018_Teaching STEM with Systems Tools |

Author(s):
Chris DiCarlo, Ashley Young, Katharine Hinkle, & Rachel Henry |
Subject:
Conference |
| |
In this workshop, participants will see examples of systems tools used to teach STEM concepts. We will examine some of the reinforcing and balancing loops that regulate human body systems, discuss how stock-flow models can be used in Physics and Mathematics, and look at challenging problems like coastal erosion through the lens of a systems thinker. After a presentation of the tools, participants will have time to meet with the presenters and explore some of their own ideas for use in their classes. |

Author(s):
Rachel Henry |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
This high school math lesson progresses from a simple population model to
a predator-prey model with an understandable and explicit sequence. The
teacher used Vensim simulation software for the class, but the lesson could
easily be modified for other simulation software such as Stella and Splash! |
