This lesson seems wonderfully engaging for students as it provides many connects to real-life experience. There are a number of "bigger questions" posed that require students to use prior knowledge and critical thinking to come to a solution. This will allow students with various learning styles to use their individual skills sets to come to a solution to the problem in a unique way (compared to a traditional "inputs -> equation -> solution" type problem).
Additionally, this lesson utilizes technology both as an instructional tool and as a tool for students to solve the problems posed (i.e. how does one retire as a millionaire while only making minimum wage?). There are multiple means of representation suggested and group work is used to reinforce prior knowledge.
Technical Remarks:
The pdf link works. The lesson references the use of Dabbleboard as an additional resource, however Dabbleboard appears to no longer be available (shut down earlier this year).
