Help children develop healthy money habits by learning about important financial concepts.

MONTEREY, CA (March 31, 2023) — Evan-Moor Educational Publishers, a leader in PreK–8 supplemental educational materials, has released Financial Literacy Lessons and Activities for grades 1–8.

Financial Literacy Lessons and Activities allows students to explore real-life choices with money-based word problems and real-world stories. Activities provide opportunities to learn important financial concepts, explore realistic opportunities, and make choices about using money, collecting allowances, applying for credit cards, and more. Complete with reproducible math manipulatives, visual aids, reference sheets, and classroom discussions, this teacher’s resource makes it easy to create fun and informative financial literacy lessons.

National Financial Capability Month (also known as Financial Literacy Month) in April is a great time to incorporate real-world math concepts into classroom curriculum! The lessons in Financial Literacy Lessons and Activities provide important context for students as they learn about personal finance. Topics such as paying taxes and understanding credit cards help students cultivate a lifetime of financial success.

Today's financial world is more complex than ever, and children need to be prepared to navigate it. By learning about financial topics, students will be better equipped to manage their personal finances and make informed decisions throughout their lives. Financial literacy lessons empower students to make positive financial decisions based on their personal goals.
— Judy Harris, President and CEO of Evan-Moor Educational Publishers

Financial literacy education can have a positive impact in the lives of students and their families. Understanding the basics of investing, budgeting, and setting financial goals can help students define their personal goals and understand the pathway needed to reach that goal.

In today’s complex financial world, many adults struggle to successfully manage their finances. A Federal Reserve Study also found that many Americans would have difficulty coming up with $400 to cover an unplanned expense. Financial literacy education has the power to set students up for success in life with a strong financial education they can build on.

Evan-Moor has made sample pages from Financial Literacy Lessons and Activities free for teachers and schools. Download free financial literacy printables here.
