Teachers’ kit · the money unit · ages 12 and up · free

The money unit the curriculum skipped, ready to run on Monday.

Eleven lessons, a picture and a quiz for each, discussion prompts, a five-session plan, a worksheet mode, an answer key and a certificate. Print it or run it from the screen. Nothing on these pages sells anything to a minor, no money is ever involved, and no account is needed. The lessons themselves are the same ones on the Youth page, so a student can revisit them at home.

How to run it: five sessions of about 40 minutes

Each session is two or three lessons. Read the lesson aloud or have a student read it, look at the picture together, ask the discussion prompts, then let everyone answer the quiz on their own sheet. The "Try it" line at the end of each lesson is homework.

Session 1 · What a company isLessons 1 and 2. Company, profit, share. Bring a real product into the room and ask who owns the company that made it.
Session 2 · Why prices moveLessons 3 and 4. Buyers, sellers, supply and demand. Run the sneaker auction from lesson 4 with the class.
Session 3 · Reading a chartLessons 5 and 6. Candles, trend, and the risk-reward rule. Draw a candle on the board before showing the picture.
Session 4 · Growing money safelyLessons 7, 8 and 9. Diversification, compounding, and what an option is (a promise ticket, nothing more).
Session 5 · Crashes and the one ruleLessons 10 and 11. Every crash and what came after; the rule for life. Hand out the certificate.
Ground rules for the room. No real money, no apps, no "hot tips". If a student asks "which stock should I buy", the answer the unit teaches is: none, until you can explain lessons 6, 7 and 11 to someone else. If a student wants to practice, the Youth page and Start Here use paper money on real prices; a parent or guardian should be the one to open it with them.
