4th Grade Financial Literacy Unit - Fixed vs. Variable Expenses, Savings Plans

This incredible 4th Grade Financial Literacy Unit covers fixed and variable expenses, how to calculate profit, basic purpose of banks and financial institutions, the advantages and disadvantages of various savings options, and allocating allowance between spending, saving, and sharing.

⭐️ This Personal Financial Literacy Unit is also included in the 4th Grade Year Long TEKS Bundle. When you purchase the bundle you save 50% over buying the individual sets!

Everything you need for a successful 10 day Financial Literacy Unit is included and all of the pieces work together seamlessly!!! This unit is separated into 5 days of lessons to teach before STAAR (covering the TEKS tested on STAAR) and 5 days of lessons to teach after STAAR (covering the TEKS not tested on STAAR - but oh so important for the real world!) This unit is specifically designed for my fellow Texas Teachers.

⭐️ This TEKS Specific Unit is Designed to:

• Save you time
• Take the stress out of finding TEKS centered resources
• Expose your students to the rigor of STAAR

This personal financial literacy review unit is jammed packed with everything needed to implement successful lessons, with engaging content to help your students understand and be prepared for the STAAR formatted questions.

As with all of my resources, it is designed with STAAR in mind.
