Gen: math lesson plan

[Julie De Vries <jdevrie1@REMC7.K12.MI.US>]

Dear Netters,
My 8th grade math teacher is looking for a lesson he can do for a week with
his class.  He wants to do "real life math".  He wants the kids to have a
job, a budget, utility bills, food bills, rent, etc. and have them live
"real life" for a week.  Is there a web site/lesson plan out there that will
do this on the computer?  We could design this together but if there's one
out there already......I did do an Eric search and the 2 lessons I found
weren't adequate.  There's nothing in the archives either.  Thanks in
advance for your help!
