It makes a good solo extension activity in the classroom or as a financial literacy "center." It is also a good resource to pass along to families to continue the learning and engagement at home.

Full Course Sequence
What are each of these pieces?
At the middle school level, FitMoney offers 19 real-world case studies that can be used in a variety of formats and classroom settings. Our goal is that much of the learning be generated from classroom discussion and for the cases to relate to life experiences faced by teens and young adults. These lessons, based around student-centered case studies, can be taught in any sequence and are designed to be implemented in two 20- or one 40-minute sessions, with opportunities for extension.
NEW: Updated in October 2023, all case studies align to new Jump$tart and CEE standards.
