Sixth Grade Financial Literacy Curriculum
The paycheck is smaller than they think — and that's the first real lesson.
As abstract reasoning switches on, sixth graders can finally handle how money actually works — gross versus net, deductions, and the systems adults navigate every day. Our sixth grade financial literacy curriculum pulls back the curtain on the real mechanics of money.
The Wyzmons™ — a learner for every stage
Sixth Grade sits in the Money Systems band — one step in a single K–12 arc, from a first coin to a first paycheck.
Students read a real pay stub and see why the money you earn and the money you keep aren't the same.
What a Sixth Grade student learns.
Sixth Grade sits inside the Money Systems program — 6 units and 60 lessons of story-, play-, and decision-based learning, taught the way great classrooms actually teach.
Every decision a sixth 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 Sixth 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.
