Learning about Business, Economy etc.

Heard about this website on the radio this morning. It is put together by the Wharton School of Business at the University of Penn and is designed for High Schoolers. Looks like a helpful tool for understanding and teaching about many things of an Economic Nature. I think the glossery tab will be very helpful to me in understanding some of what I hear on the news but only partly understand.

My family has also been enjoying listening to some of the planet money podcasts, it has been a fun way for the kids to learn some things about money and the economy. I will say that Paul previews them to make sure they are kid friendly, most have been but you may want to do the same thing, especially with younger kdis.

Teaching about Money and Math Cirriculum Question

Sent in by Gwen P.

I want to start teaching my 4-yr-old about money but want some manipulatives (other than the real thing) to help guide the discussion. I know that both Crown Financial Ministries and Dave Ramsey have stuff I could purchase on teaching kids about money, but I'm looking for input/feedback on these two choices, and would welcome input on anything else you use.

Also, math programs: Singapore Math, Math U See, and Saxon Math......your thoughts?
