Unit 12: Reality Fair Capstone
Reality Fair 101
A Reality Fair turns abstract budgeting into a face-to-face negotiation with rent, groceries, and car payments. This lesson kicks off the capstone unit by orienting students to how the fair works and walking them through the student workbook they'll carry through every booth.
The Day of the Reality Fair
A balanced budget can break from a single unrecorded swipe at a sale rack. This lesson preps students for the fast-paced reality fair by drilling the rule that no booth gets left behind without a logged choice and an updated scorecard.
