Petz, Etc. and Timeless Treasures Books and Coffee. When I saw this business math series by Simply Charlotte Mason on a friend's blog, it seemed like a fun way to jazz up our Friday math. The kids come up with their own name, design a logo, and then set up and run a business for 12 months. Today they figured how much to mark up their inventory by either 100 or 150%, and then calculated their start-up costs. Next week, they will fill orders for January, compute tax, order more inventory, pay bills, order more inventory, and see if they have profit or loss. (Ok, all that may take 2 weeks.) It's hard work, but enthusiasm is high. It reminds me of the game of Life!
