I teach Spec. Ed. Math 1( about 3rd 4th grade level) to high school students. I’ve tried teaching the basics but I want to try teaching more consumer math, does anyone have any recomendations of text books or workbooks I might try?
Re: practical math
AGS (American Guidance Service) has a textbook titled Consumer Math which I am using this year teaching High School Math to LD students. It has a workbook which directly relates. Included are banking, shopping, checking accts. etc..
