Financial Literacy 9

Why Did We Develop Financial Literacy 9?

The new British Columbia Mathematics curriculum for Grade 9 includes Financial Literacy. To support you and other teachers in the classroom, Pearson is publishing a package of resources created and tested by British Columbia teachers that specifically addresses the new Financial Literacy Learning Outcomes. The package is a stand-alone module and is expected to take approximately 12 hours or 19 hours to complete, depending on the Scenario chosen.

Students will learn about various aspects involved in financial literacy and complete one or two Project-Based Learning Simulations. The first one addresses managing work and school aspects of life, while trying to maintain a balanced budget and contribute to their savings goals. In the second simulation, students extend their project-based learning to include aspects involved in moving out on their own, owning a vehicle, and other real-life expenses, while still maintaining a balanced budget and savings goals.
