For Teachers: Teacher Resources
Free extension resources for teachers using Money Decisions — the page the teacher code (T1) in the book's front matter opens.
FDIC Money Smart
The FDIC's free Money Smart curriculum: complete lesson banks, slides and classroom materials for extension and enrichment alongside Money Decisions — the teacher code in the book's front matter points here.
Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF)
NGPF's free teacher library: lesson banks, activities and slides that extend every unit of Money Decisions, from budgeting to investing.
Key ideas from the lesson
- This page is the T1 destination. The teacher-only QR code printed in the Teacher Answer Key's front matter opens this page — free lesson banks and slides for extension, from the FDIC and NGPF.
- The Teacher Answer Key itself is never on this page. The key is a separate, ledger-gated companion volume; nothing on this public page reproduces it.
- Classroom sets include the key. Schools that order classroom sets direct receive the complete 81-page Teacher Answer Key with their sets.
- Every student page is safe to share. The 24 lesson pages under /go/md/ carry student-facing key ideas and official resources only — no answers.
Why this helps
Money Decisions is built to be extended: its pacing leaves room for a teacher's own materials, and these two libraries are where the book's QR map sends teachers for more — full lesson banks and slide decks from the FDIC's Money Smart program and from NGPF, both free.
Try this
Pick one lesson you're teaching next week and find its extension in either library: a Money Smart module or an NGPF activity that covers the same objective. Note the one thing it adds that the workbook doesn't — a dataset, a simulation, a second example.
Teaching Money Decisions to a class?
