What It Teaches
Money skills students build
Rent is the largest monthly expense in most budgets, so comparing apartments is a core real-world money skill. Students read for-rent ads, compare monthly rents, and figure the yearly cost — reinforcing subtraction, multiplication, and budgeting judgment.
