These are all concepts that your middle schoolers will use at some point in their lives. But at this stage of their education, many of them have little familiarity with these financial literacy topics.
Financial Literacy Lesson Plans
Below, check out some of our financial literacy lesson plans for middle school, complete with full downloadable worksheets and answer keys, while teaching your students about topics such as choosing a bank, protecting your credit, and building personal budgets.
