Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students estimated the total cost of attending two-year and four-year colleges by adding all relevant expenses and subtracting family contributions. They learned to create periodic savings plans by dividing the amount needed by the number of saving periods before college. Through guided practice and real-world scenarios, students developed skills to plan financially for college attendance, applying personal financial literacy and mathematical reasoning to become informed consumers and investors.

Learning Goals

• Estimate the total cost of attendance for a two-year and four-year college education, including family contributions.
• Devise a periodic savings plan to accumulate the money needed to contribute to the total cost of attendance for at least the first year of college.
