If you find that your score is less than genius-level, you may want to brush up with Amsco's Personal Finance by Margaret Magnarelli, senior editor at Money magazine and a blogger on cnnmoney.com. If you are teaching Personal Finance, Business, Entrepreneurship, or Consumer Economics at the high school or community college level, you may want to add this book to your curriculum.

Personal Finance teaches students everything they need to know to do better financially, guiding them through the decision-making that will help them earn, save, invest, and protect their money throughout their lifetimes.

The author's approach engages students, asks them to connect to the subject matter, and challenges them with new concepts, while maintaining ease and readability. The book proceeds in a commonsense order:

• First, helping students understand the time value of money and recognize education and career choices as long-term investments;
• Second, delving into the everyday money-management skills that keep people on track; and
• Third, advancing to the topics of investing for the future, using credit wisely, and managing risk.

This standards-based book aligns with national and state-specific standards, so you can be certain that you are teaching students the skills and concepts they need to know. Helpful teacher's resources include a Teacher's Guide with Answer Key and Test Bank.

While we are on the topic of money, it's worth mentioning that the student book is $23.00. Personal Finance is also available for the same price as an enhanced e-book, which brings money matters to life on an iPad, smart phone, laptop, etc.
