What’s the best way to add lessons on money management and building wealth to grade school math? By making it real—and making it fun! Fun With Finance: Math + Literacy = Success helps teachers bring the world of finance into the elementary school classroom in a way that engages and captivates students.

Each chapter offers grade-appropriate lessons, with a readers theatre script, glossary, cross-curricular activities, a list of Web sites—even a board game!—to make learning a genuinely successful enterprise. Lessons and activities are fully cross-referenced to curriculum standards to make sure they meet school requirements.
