Abstract
This curriculum project provides teachers with four lessons focused on financial literacy that aligns with standards across middle school mathematics to precalculus. The lessons provide activities that incorporate real-world applications that connect with mathematical and financial terminology, incorporates percentages and relates them to calculating deductions from pay checks, and using systems of equations to represent savings plans. Many students see financial topics towards the end of their high school careers with courses like consumer math. Financial literacy courses are becoming more popular as graduation requirements are changing. These lessons support teachers to implement real-world examples and bridge the gap between mathematics and financial literacy.
