Money Savvy
So where does this material fit into
my already crowded day? Use it as another way to teach your students
math concepts. Our material aligns with NCTM (National Council
of Math Teachers) standards and expectations in these critical
areas: problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connection,
and representation. My dream is to teach money management basics to elementary
school aged children, a segment of our educational system virtually
untouched because of the perceived complexity of the subject matter.
Stated differently, I wanted to get "out in front" of
money management behavior before bad habits set in. To start to
make my dream come true I went into my local schools on a volunteer
basis to teach my "Mrs. Money Talks Money" eight week
curriculum. Armed with my Money Savvy Pig and motivating experiences
with these school children, along with the responsibility I felt
toward my own children, the Money Savvy Kids Basic Personal Finance
Curriculum came into existence.
