=Do you have a yen to go to college? =



The students will work on a activity called "Do you have a Yen to go to college?". They will learn about a boy named Carlos. Carlos has been accepted into 4 colleges and he now has to decide which one he can actually afford. The problem is that 3 of the schools are not in the United States. The schools are in different countries and they all use different currencies. Their tuition and room and board are all in their native currency and Carlos has to figure out which school is cheaper. The students will utilize the classroom laptops and calculators to find the exchange rates and figure out which school Carlos can afford.The students will receive a grade for the activities that they complete. For homework the students will write up their findings and prepare for a class discussion the following day.
