Having taught mostly in elementary schools, there are a number of ways to introduce lessons on financial literacy in the classroom. Math can include activities where students have to calculate income earned, acquired debts and savings. Language can include reading about others who have made good financial choices and writing a summary or book report on the topic. The possibilities are endless. There is also real value in teaching financial literacy to early learners. When young students learn why some money should be saved, how to create a budget and the difference between wants and needs, they will be more apt to use money responsibility later. Too often, many young students end up struggling financially after they grow up and leave college. Learning sound financial skills earlier should help them to better manage their future debts, assets and investments.
