Money Matters: What’s It Worth? 
Financial Literacy

What makes something a good value? Why is it important to use money wisely? How will creating a budget help you purchase a new bike? This engaging book will teach students financial literacy through the use of real-world examples while incorporating nonfiction reading to increase vocabulary and comprehension skills. The challenging practice problems, graphs, and sidebars provide many opportunities for students to practice their developing math skills, and apply what they’ve learned to their daily lives. Essential text features like a glossary, index, and table of contents will increase students’ interest level and their interaction with the text. "Math Talk" poses problems for further thinking, requiring students to use their higher order thinking skills. Teaching math and reading has never been so seamlessly integrated-or so easy!
