Financial Literacy - Currency Exchange

In Math, we've begun our Financial Literacy Unit. We first started by exploring currency exchanges. Students worked between converting CAD to USD and USD to CAD. In the assignment below, they went online shopping  in a different country, designed a wardrobe and then calculated the cost of it in Canadian Dollars. Students further explored the cost of living through a cost of living website and reasoned if their outfit was a justifiable expense. Take a look!
