Fifth Grade Financial Literacy Curriculum
Right before middle school, money stops being personal and starts being social.
Fifth graders connect their own choices to the wider world — where money comes from, who it touches, and their place in a community. Our fifth grade financial literacy curriculum ties earning, spending, and saving to real-world impact, at the perfect moment before the leap to middle school.
The Wyzmons™ — a learner for every stage
Fifth Grade sits in the Money Builders band — one step in a single K–12 arc, from a first coin to a first paycheck.
Students compare prices, spot advertising tricks, and prove which buy is really the best deal.
What a Fifth Grade student learns.
Fifth Grade sits inside the Money Builders program — 5 units and 50 lessons of story-, play-, and decision-based learning, taught the way great classrooms actually teach.
Every decision a fifth grade student makes feeds the FLIQ Score™ — a behavioral measure of how a child actually decides about money, so growth is provable, not guessed.
The Fifth Grade curriculum is Jump$tart National Standards aligned, follows the HQIM structure districts use to evaluate curriculum, and is FERPA & COPPA compliant. Districts license per school and can pay by purchase order — Title IV-A eligible.
Grade-level design reflects established stages of cognitive development (Piaget) and research on early money-habit formation.
