Math and Money Fun for Students
TheSimpleDollar.com - Guide to securing your child's credit future and Guide to securing your college student's credit future.
Arecent study found that over half (study estimated 70%) of Americans are
effectively financially illiterate. Which probably isn’t surprising given
the fact that many young people are never taught basic financial concepts.
For example, only about 20 states require a personal finance class for
high school students. So, in an effort to be a part of the solution, they
have created a series of guides designed for students and parents that
give practical advice on developing and building upon healthy financial
habits throughout one's life as well as a comprehensive handbook on
credit.

learn even more. The author, Chloe Rousseau, is an educational outreach
writer and financial consultant for a site that sells checks but also
features math lessons, specifically about money topics for students and
teachers.
