**Description:**  This web resource has a variety of lesson ideas for teaching economics. There are two aspects that I really like about this webpage. It clearly highlights the various economic concepts. This will be useful when teachers are looking to incorporating specific concepts into the content areas. The second reason I really like this webpage is because the lessons are intended for Grades 9-12, which is helpful for all of our content teachers.

**Description:**  This is a fabulous resource for teaching the difficult concepts of money and money managing into our existing curriculum. It has an endless supply of worksheets and lessons for money managing for all levels. The only downside to this web resource is that it does require a membership. It does have a limited free membership but it expires. The price for a full membership is $29.95, which is a fee that we could consider in our annual budget.
