Procedures/Activities


Step:  1 Duration: 5 minutes
Discuss with students the different businesses in the community where money is used. Have them list places where they pay money for goods as you write them on the board (i.e., grocery store, restaurants and fast food places, shoe stores, clothing stores, etc.)

Step:  2 Duration: 10 minutes
Ask students to name the one business in the community that works exclusively with money, the place where you save, borrow and invest money. Once students have identified the bank, discuss what skills are important to being a bank teller, the person who accepts the money deposits and withdrawals at the bank. Have students identify the various math skills required to be a bank teller (adding, subtracting, making change, etc.).

Step:  3 Duration: 15 minutes
Once students have identified the skills, pass out the Bank Teller Worksheet and have students complete the word problems.
