Financial Literacy in Elementary Grades
Ohio's Learning Standards for Financial Literacy
Educators creating the grades K-3 and 4-6 standards for financial literacy incorporated existing standards from social studies and mathematics to teach foundational concepts of financial literacy. Connections were made between the two content areas so educators can successfully integrate the financial literacy standards into their mathematics and social studies classroom instruction.
Ohio's Model Curriculum for Financial Literacy
The model curriculum provides guidance to educators as they teach with the standards. Educators in local school districts choose their own curricula. That means they plan the instruction and select the instructional strategies, instructional materials, and other resources to help students master the skills and content knowledge called for in Ohio’s Learning Standards.
Teams of educators across the state helped develop the model curriculum and other related tools. State law does not mandate school districts to use these guides. However, by doing so, educators will find in-depth descriptions explaining what the standards mean that will help them develop local curriculum and instructional plans.
