3 using banking services lesson outline lesson 6 overview Where is the safest place to keep my money? If I put all my money in savings, how will I be able to purchase an item or pay a bill? While most students know that banks offer savings and checking services, few understand how to make the best use of them. As electronic banking services expand, awareness of benefits and costs must expand. Lesson 6 begins with an introduction to how banks operate. Students are then familiarized with the vocabulary that helps them understand the variety of bank services. They also examine recent electronic banking options, including debit or check cards. Next, students learn to complete several of the forms necessary for opening and maintaining a bank account. They will practice completing these forms in a step-by-step manner. Finally, students use basic mathematics skills to keep a running record of their bank accounts and to reconcile their monthly bank statements. lesson 6 student performance goal: The student will increase his or her understanding of the services offered by banks and perform a variety of banking tasks. lesson 6 objectives: The student will 6-1 recognize financial services that banks offer. 6-2 complete a variety of banking forms (signature authorization form, deposit form, check). 6-3 demonstrate skills needed to maintain a checking or debit account (maintain a check register, interpret an account statement, reconcile a checking account). using banking services teacher s guide

Discuss the advantages of keeping money in a savings account, rather than keeping it at home in a piggy bank. Explain to students how their money can grow by earning interest. Define annual interest as the money a bank pays its depositors for the use of their money, expressed as a percentage rate for a one-year period of time. Help students calculate simple interest for a savings account. List as many banking services as students can think of. Have students share what they know about these services.

It offers the same financial services as a bank. It usually does so at a lower cost than banks because its non-profit status makes its operating costs lower. A credit union can only serve its members; it does not serve the general public. banking terms you should know (overhead 6-1a) Account Money deposited with a bank for safekeeping ATM Acronym for automated teller machine Bank A business that keeps money safe for its customers, lends money to borrowers, and provides other financial services. overhead 6-1a: banking terms you should know Checking account An account that allows you to deposit money and write checks on that account.

Help students understand that they also need to safeguard their money by filling out a check carefully, so that it cannot be tampered with. List precautions a check writer should take so his or her check cannot be changed in any way: always write a check in ink (rather than pencil); do not leave any space between numbers in a written amount; draw a line from the completion of the written out number to the end of the line. Remind students that their social security numbers are personal identifiers that can be stolen or misused by others. They should never give wide access to their social security numbers by writing them on their personal checks. Demonstrate the correct way to write a check (overhead 6-2e). Have students find something they would like to buy from a mail order catalogue. Have them write a check, made payable to the appropriate company name for the correct amount.
