Beth Dichter's insight:
Can we teach students in elementary and middle school the concepts of financial literacy? With the right resources the answer would be yes.
ASIDE has provided a range of excellent resources in this post. You will find an excellent infographic that covers the Story of Money, beginning with bartering animal hides and teeth as well as shells up to a gold coin minted in Australia in 2011 that weighs (take a breath) 2,231 pounds. (There is a great math problem to be solved.)
A number of videos are also provided. One looks at student debt and one is a TED-Ed video.
There are also additional resources provided.
Financial literacy is an important concept for students to learn, and I would think the earlier they understand the concepts the better off they will be. To learn more click through to the post.
