Taxes
Our Business Math Class consists of 11th Graders. They have been working on a unit study on reading and filling out 1040EZ tax forms. Within the study they were learning and practicing the importance of earning a living. The purpose of taxes was investigated. Students were engaged with taxes such as: social security, FICA, property tax, medical, etc.

Skills for the future
8th-12 grades are finished with Adobe Illustrator. The quiz is all we have left. Even if they don’t use graphic design in their careers, the students will have a basic know-how that they can build on later.
