Students will be introduced to the terms investment, simple interest, and compound interest and in the end will devise a periodic investment plan for accumulating the tuition required to attend a four-year college.  \nThis activity was provided by Pricewaterhouse Coopers. The activity is part of the curriculum for PwC’s Earn Your Future program. The program was developed as part of Pricewaterhouse Coopers’ commitment to helping students develop critical financial skills and to providing educators with resources to teach those skills.  \nMATERIALS NEEDED  \n• Millionaire Facts handout (1 per student)  \n• A Little Saving Goes a Long Way handout (1 per student)  \n• Famous Quotes and Investing handouts A & B (1 per student, give half the students A and half B)  \n• Investment Plan Directions handout (1 per student)  \n• Post-Assesssment (optional, 1 per student)  \n• Chart paper  \n• Markers  \nPART 1: MILLIONAIRE FACTS  \nTo begin this exploration on the importance of investing, start with a class discussion. Ask the students: “Who wants to be a millionaire?” and “Do you think you will become a millionaire?” For those who respond no to the second question, ask: “Why don’t you think you could become a millionaire?” For those who respond yes, ask: “How do you think you will become a millionaire?” Take the time to have a few different kids answer and share their ideas about what can help one to become a millionaire.  \nNext, pass out the Millionaire Facts handout, one per student. Now that the students have shared some thoughts on what makes one a millionaire, have them read through the Millionaire Facts handout and answer true or false to each statement. Give the students one to two minutes complete the handout.  \nOnce everyone has had a chance to answer, go through each statement as a class. Read each statement aloud and ask for a show of hands who answered true and who answered false. Allow students to share their reasoning. Then go through the answers with them. Did most of the class think these statements are true? Maybe there is more to being a millionaire than we thought...  \nAnswer Key for Millionaire Facts:  \n1. Most millionaires inherited their wealth.  \nFalse--about 80% of millionaires are rst-generation wealthy.  \n2. Millionaires are rarely self-employed.  \nFalse--more than half of millionaires are self-employed.  \n3. All millionaires wear expensive clothes and drive new cars.  \nFalse--50% of millionaires have never paid more than $400 for a suit and more than 50% of millionaires drive a car that is more than two years old.  \n4. Most millionaires earn more than $500,000 per year.  \nFalse--less than 15% of millionaires have an income over $500,000 a year.  \n5. Most millionaires drop out of college to start work.  \nFalse--four out of ve millionaires are college graduates.  \n6. It is impossible to save enough to be a millionaire.  \nFalse--If you are diligent with your saving and investing, you can save enough to become a millionaire. For example, at 22-years-old, if you saved $50 a week foryour entire working life, you would earn $2,600 a year. If that money was invested and earned 9% interest each of those years, you would have more than $1 million by the time you turned 63-years-old.  \nPART 2: A LITTLE SAVINGS GOES A LONG WAY  \nYour students are probably familiar with the saying “money doesn’t grow on trees,” but they may not know there is a real way to make money grow. The rest of the activity will help the students understand the basics of saving and investing money. Pass out the A Little Saving Goes a Long Way handout, each student should get a copy. Read the instructions at the top of the handout aloud. Start by working through the first line or two with the students, then give them two or three minutes to com","cbCais8ClOrii3z9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais8ClOrii3z9","pdf",1609737,7,"English","# Part 1: Millionaire Facts\n## Answer Key Review\n# Part 2: A Little Savings Goes a Long Way\n## Savings by Grade Level\n# Part 3: Famous Quotes and Investing\n## Discussion Points","[{\"question\":\"What is the main learning goal of Making Our Money Grow?\",\"answer\":\"Students learn the time value of money and how regularly investing small amounts can grow exponentially over time.\"},{\"question\":\"Which financial concepts are introduced in the activity?\",\"answer\":\"The activity introduces investment, simple interest, and compound interest, connecting them to saving and investing decisions.\"},{\"question\":\"What do students do at the end of the lesson?\",\"answer\":\"Students devise a periodic investment plan to accumulate the tuition required for attending a four-year college, using the ideas developed through the handouts and discussions.\"}]","Making Our Money Grow - Investment Growth Activity | PDF",1791847028]
