Buy a House Project
This product about mortgages and the process to buy a home contains many activities meant for middle school and high school students.
The objective of this project is for students to develop an understanding of purchasing a home. Students will gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience in all of the critical aspects of buying a home. Many adults struggle to understand mortgages and the associated costs of buying a home, making it essential for students to learn these concepts early. So it is essential for students to learn what it takes to buy a home and even whether or not buying a home is the best decision.
Students will apply math skills, develop critical thinking, and learn to analyze financial trade-offs, helping them to make sound financial decisions in the future.
The project is adaptable to your classroom needs! Provided in PowerPoint format, you can adjust it to match the specific grade level or learning objectives.
If you prefer, you can break the project up into mini-lessons and activities rather than compiling them all into one project. It is set up with different activities so that they can be completed at home or at school depending on your preference. This is a great component to any math class to help students become better prepared to be a responsible consumer!
