4 fictional family scenarios
These ‘case studies’ require students to use their personal finance knowledge and consider trade-offs and alternatives for that family. In the NPFC Finals, students will have 75 minutes to do the assignment so you may wish to assign this for your students to complete during the week and return for group discussion. This tab also contains a sample student presentation and accompanying critique by a judge. If your team makes it to the National Finals, we recommend watching this in advance.
Based on the judges’ case study scores, the top 16 teams in the National Finals will advance to compete for the national championship title in a Quiz Bowl. Click here to find a Practice Quiz Bowl.
