Project Details

The Ford PAS Credit Module

EDC will develop a high school level standards-based Ford PAS module that focuses on personal financial literacy, while strengthening students' knowledge and understanding of mathematics, including key algebraic concepts. In this module, students will explore individuals' responsibilities and rights and apply algebraic concepts to the making of short-and long-term financial decisions. Such decisions will include applying for and choosing a credit card, making a large purchase, planning to pay for college, investing, and planning for retirement.

Project Duration: 2007—2008
Directors Name:Anne Shure
