What is Financial Literacy 9?
Financial Literacy 9 is comprised of three components, a Student Work Text, on-line simulations and a Teacher Resource Guide. These three components work together to support you as you teach Financial Literacy in the following ways:
- “Just enough” support for the new Financial Literacy Outcomes: please watch the following short Program Overview Video as we walk you through the components of Financial Literacy 9

- Tried and tested in the classroom for over 7 years: BC authors Jason Elder, Amanda Trenholme, and Patrick Erickson teach at Constable Neil Bruce Middle School in School District #23. They have perfected Financial Literacy 9 over 7 years so that it is practical and easy for you to implement in your Grade 9 Math classroom.
- Increased Student Engagement:In two ways
- Embedded QR Codes in Student Work Text link students directly to simulations on-line to help support use of personal devices
- Authentic Project-based on-line simulations help students learn about budgeting and goal-setting in real-time. Please watch the following videos on our Random Generator Questionnaire and Transaction Statement Generator to learn more about how student choice and voice is supported.
