Description

This personal finance credit card activity teaches students financial decision-making and real-world skills! Students will independently research four credit cards by locating their credit card disclosures and then comparing interest rates and APRs, fees, terms, and more.

This activity will provide students with practical experience reading the ‘fine print’ before making important financial decisions, such as choosing a credit card. Students will locate the terms and conditions for four different credit cards and compare them using the provided table. They will then answer follow-up questions about which card they believe would be the best choice. This activity teaches students how to find information like this for themselves so they are prepared to make decisions as adults.

Students will need devices with internet access to complete this activity.
