MoneyMath: Lessons for Life
As tax season approaches, you can teach your middle schoolers about financial literacy. Through real-life examples of personal finance, MoneyMath from the Treasury Department provides a free curriculum for teachers. It first explores careers, then students learn about income, taxes, gross income, saving, and net income in different fields.
Learn From Tax Simulations
After you teach your students about taxes, take them through a virtual simulation to practice what they've learned. The tax simulation app allows kids to understand the tax process through the lens of 20 different taxpayers. They learn how to file taxes electronically through different income scenarios like claiming credits or submitting a return.
