Budget Reset Before Payday
The total works, but the money arrives too late. Students help a fictional person revise a two-week cash-flow plan after a $90 bicycle repair. They check dates, choose from clearly stated adjustments, and defend a plan that never runs short. Includes English-only and paired English–Spanish student packets, a teacher guide with two worked alternatives, a 40-minute plan, and a 20-minute route. Individual thinking, partner checking, and an independent exit ticket are built in. No slides, internet, prior lesson, or private financial information needed.
