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.
