Middle School Math: Taxable Income, Income Tax Game Using Percentages (Easel)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
This is a real-life lesson that encourages students to evaluate taxable income based on one's income and the marginal tax bracket. Kids will love this and have a great time discussing the occupations and how much each is taxed. This lesson does not go as far as to discuss personal deductions and standard deductions, which would lower your taxable income. That is for another day. This is a simple introduction to how Federal taxes are collected.
Focuses on taxable Income, understanding taxes, calculating taxes
Easel Activity Included
OBJECTIVE
MATERIALS
PREPARATION
o Set up the classroom desks or tables so that students are sitting in groups of two or three.
INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)
Ask students:
Available with purchase
GAME INSTRUCTIONS
Divide students into groups of two or three. Each group will receive a set of Occupation Game Cards. It is suggested that you laminate the cards, cut them, and place them in zip-lock bags so they can be used every year.
Students will be directed to place all cards face down. Distribute the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart.
Students within the group will take turns turning over an Occupation Game Card. Each will write the occupation, taxable income, and income tax percent using the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart provided on each student’s activity sheet (see below). Students will work together to calculate the income tax and lifetime total.
Alternative: you may have students compete against those within their team as another way to play, rather than having one group compete against the other groups in the class. Whatever works best for your students and classroom environment is the best route to take.
The goal is to reach a lifetime total of 100,000 taxable incomes to win. This will require multiple games, or to make it more challenging, raise the Lifetime taxable income goal to 150,000 or 200,000, which will make the game run longer.
Students can create charts on notebook paper for additional games.
Once they reach the lifetime goal, they win that round. Then have them play again.

Where Does Your Pathway Lead? (Matching College & Careers Activity)
By Reece's Tech Shop by Scott Reece
Explain what career options are available to your based on your interests and abilities.
Welcome to Engineering and Technology! Before we begin to see how engineering and technology affect our lives on a daily basis, let’s look at what is encompassed under the CTAE (Career, Technical and Agricultural Education) umbrella. We are going to do this by looking at a CTAE Pathway at the college level vs. a Math/Science Pathway at the college level. We are going to look at Kennesaw State University’s programs in several of these categories. Since KSU’s merger with Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Technology, this is a great place to look at several college options in each of these pathways.
This module includes 7 pages:
Vocabulary words
Links to Kennesaw State University - we use this school because it's close to us, but I also allow students to choose a college of their choice - they just have to look for their own links.
Introduction/description to CTAE
Create a hobbies/interest list.
Create paths of studies comparisons.
