Interjecting Financial Literacy About Credit Cards into the Mathematics Curriculum

Abstract

This curriculum project is designed to interject a focus on financial literacy into an Algebra II class. It will focus specifically on the financial literacy of credit cards. The curriculum involves three lessons about the basics of credit cards and concludes with a project-based learning activity. This curriculum provides specific lessons that can be used to to encorporate financial literacy, as well as real-world scenarios, into algebra I or above mathematics courses.
