The Evolution High School math classes spent a week exploring, computing, and understanding real world financial literacy applications, including tipping percentages, percent of change in prices (inflation), checkbook registers, gross and net pay of paycheck and household budgeting. Students came to realize their earnings and take-home pay were not the same, and budgets included much more than just entertainment and food.
