How to Use Money Mastery Materials to Teach the GFL

The Money Mastery materials for teaching the Utah State General Financial Literacy course are organized based on the following criteria:

All lesson plans, activities, and ancillary materials are organized around each of the four financial “puzzle pieces” — spending, credit, taxation, and savings — required to teach complete financial mastery in every area of personal finance. Lesson plans include suggested teacher presentations and a variety of student activities. The plans are designed to be flexible so teachers can choose those activities and assignments that best meet the needs of their class.
The materials are divided into 10 sections, one for each Money Mastery Principle (each principle corresponding to appropriate financial puzzle pieces). These principles help teach the pieces, their correlation with each other, and a step-by-step approach for fitting them together.
All lesson plans, activities, and ancillary materials are designed to meet each of the State's standards and objectives for the GFL course as the standard and/or objective correlates to the financial principle being taught. The materials are designed to progress in a systematic order through each section from the Overview to Principle 1 through Principle 10. A summary section includes materials for summarizing the course and a final exam.
Required ancillary materials including software, workbooks, textbooks, and other tools are included with the materials and either referenced or included with the appropriate lesson plan.
It is suggested that teachers read and become familiar with the accompanying book for this course: MONEY: What Financial “Experts” Will Never Tell You and the Money Mastery Master Plan software, both of which will be suggested for homework assignments and for help in completing various work throughout the course.
