I teach special education math in a behavior program. Most of my students are high schoolers with IEPs, but I do have a few middle school students who for one reason or another end up in my math program. I expect to use financial literacy curriculum daily in my consumer math classes. I will need to be more creative to work it into my pre-Algebra class's curriculum, though it is very important for them also. I do foresee teaching many elements of financial literacy while teaching percents, calculating interest, and other problem solving times. I also plan to encourage the special education reading teacher to include lessons on reading contracts, credit card/ loan applications, mortgages and other essential elements of successful adult life.
