First, spend 10 minutes working on your typing. The typing test will be at the end of the 3rd Quarter, so get that speed up for your Typing Certificate.
Next we are going to do a quick simulation of writing checks and using a check register. I will be passing out a worksheet with three checks and a register (you can view a copy here: Checks with Register). Use the following scenario to complete your worksheet:
You begin with $135.72 in your checking account.- You receive a Check for $550.00 from your work and Deposit it to your checking account on 3/1/10.
- Write a Check for your rent on 3/1/10 for $525 to Kelseyville Green Apartments.
- You go to dinner at Lyndall's on 3/5/10 for $18.27 and use your Debit Card.
- You send a Check to John Smith in the amount of $31.19 on 3/12/10 for a movie you bought on eBay.
- You receive a Check for $550.00 on 3/15/10 from your work and you Deposit it to your checking account.
- You write a Check for your car payment on 3/16/10 in the amount of $224.72.
- You use Online Banking to pay $124.25 for your PG&E bill.
Compare your ending balance with a neighbors to verify your accuracy.
