Penny Wise lesson plans help students develop critical financial literacy skills
Whether it's preparing personal budgets, making price comparisons, calculating interest rates, reconciling bank statements, or just managing money, students should learn basic financial literacy skills and concepts at a young age. This will ensure they have the necessary knowledge to make informed financial decisions throughout their lifetime.
The AICPA Foundation provides the Penny Wise lesson plans to assist you in introducing financial topics and concepts to elementary and middle school students. The lesson plans include exercises on preparing a budget, making price comparisons, reconciling bank statements and calculating interest.
The Penny Wise lesson plans are available in PDF format and can be downloaded and copied for classroom use.
For more information about the Penny Wise lesson plans, contact Karen West at kwest@ohio-cpa.com or 800.686.2727 ext. 344.
