Teaching Financial Literacy
Middle School and High School
|
Financial education should be an essential component to every middle and high school math class. Unfortunately, it is often overlooked or undervalued. Join me in making financial literacy a priority for our students. Let's give them the tools of being able to handle personal finance, understanding credit and debt, how to buy a car, use an ATM, balance a checkbook and open a savings account. Check out the resources below of tried and true financial literacy and consumer math projects and activities.
