Description: A site created for children in grades 6-8 to teach basic financial planning concepts, providing tools and programs to assist the education community in enhancing basic skills in math, financial planning, decision-making (logic), reading, and computer use. The project centers around a financial planning game based on a five-step process: assessment, goal setting, strategy setting, implementation, and review/adjust. The game incorporates a "virtual city" in which children move through various financial planning centers, managing money and working toward defined goals. Materials are available for math teachers to support them in assisting children as they use the site, which can be integrated into classroom activities through suggested lesson plans and related activities. A financial planning curriculum is linked with the math curriculum.
