"How much do a school teacher & LeBron James make in a year? In this lesson we’ll explore not only how much people earn each year, but also each day, hour and minute. How long would a teacher have to work to earn what LeBron James does in a year, and is there a difference between how much someone makes and how much they’re worth?" This web resource provides a slide show, a lesson plan, and a student handout. Problem solving and unit conversion are used in real world math. Have to have an account to fully access the materials.
