Middle school is a great time to get students started on a solid financial success path. Each unit includes:
Help your students map out their financial success with budgeting basics. Examine different budget frameworks and map them to a variety of real-life scenarios.
Explore the relationship between education, careers, and income. Students will have the opportunity to understand this relationship through statistical analysis, research, and cultural comparison.
How can you get the most from your money? Take your students on a journey to understand savings and compound interest.
Examine both the benefits and risks of using credit. Invite your students to explore how credit cards work, how much credit card interest rates can cost them, and how credit scores can impact their lives.
Investigate the major financial decisions most adults must make. Students will be prompted to consider the various factors that go into making sound decisions on major expenses.
Learn how to responsibly invest to grow and protect your finances. Students will examine the risks versus potential benefits of investments and explore different investment options.
