The easy way to teach financial literacy

 

MoneyTime is a FREE self-taught learning experience for New Zealand students in years 7-8.  Students complete  financial lessons on-line at their own pace. They test their knowledge via multi choice tests and quizzes and you receive immediate feedback on their results.

Complementing these lessons is a money management experience in which students get to make their own financial decisions. They earn money by answering the quiz and test questions correctly which is paid into a virtual bank account. They then have a choice of spending, saving, donating or investing it. The result is they have a whole lot of fun learning how money works in the safety of their classroom.

Made for teachers

MoneyTime makes teaching financial literacy easy. There is minimal prep required for each lesson; it is essentially plug and play. Tests and quizzes are automatically marked, which means no marking required by you; and lesson guides are provided for each lesson along with ideas for class discussions and extension activities.

If financial literacy is not your strong point, no worries. The program assumes students have zero knowledge. The modules take them on a journey starting with earning and saving, all the way through budgeting and borrowing to business basics and investing. By the end of the program they will be confident about how to grow their money and manage it wisely.
