The Elementary Personal Finance Workbooks contain nine age-appropriate activities that form the foundation for students’ financial literacy education.
- The Financial Scoop: Students use key vocabulary terms to fill in the blanks of a story about student interacting with financial topics.
- Money Math: Students do the simple math required to work with money by adding and subtracting various combinations of dollars and cents.
- Paying with Cash and Making Change: Helps students understand how to count & pay with change.
- Microeconomics: Students think about what influences people to spend money by reading five different scenarios and listing what impacted the spender the most.
- Reading Challenge: After reading short paragraphs that explain the basic concepts of insurance and borrowing money, students answer reading comprehension questions.
- Wants and Needs: Defines a want and a need and teaches students to differentiate between the two.
- Savings Plan: Students work through questions that help them set a savings goal and make a plan to achieve it.
- Time to Save: Teaches how saving even small amounts of money adds up over time.
- Banzai Swap: Students use the included cards to play a fun, short trading card game that teaches that goods have different values. The game requires groups of five to seven players and can be played with the entire class for the final round.
