A collection of curated resources for middle school financial literacy, including lesson plans, ebooks, activities and interactives, and video. Each item includes a description and link to the resource. 

According to Ohio's Learning Standards for Financial Literacy, "Financial Literacy is defined as the ability to read, analyze, manage and communicate about personal financial conditions that affect one's material well-being. It includes the ability to discern financial choices, discuss money and financial issues without (or despite) discomfort, plan for the future and respond completely to life events that affect every day financial decisions, including events in the general economy."This content pack is intended to be a way to discover new resources and lessons for financial literacy that can be used in grades 9-12. The standards being referenced are ODEW Site: Ohio's Financial Literacy Standards for Financial Literacy, page 9 (high school). Though it is not mentioned here, it may hit additional standards within Social Studies, Mathematics, or other topics within Financial Literacy. Specific content standards that were used to find relevant resources are:

This content package offers resources for grades K-6 in Financial Literacy and related math skills. There are a variety of resource types in the package: individual lesson plans, mini-units, lesson collections, videos, interactive resources, and eReading materials.
