Can I assign FinanceLearn practice without student accounts?

Yes. Assign a quick-practice form, one exact four-part case or a decision workbook, add an optional due date, then copy the complete LMS post. Each link keeps the student's result on that device.

How do I add a FinanceLearn calculator to Google Sites?

Open the widget page, copy the snippet, then in Google Sites insert an Embed block, choose Embed code, and paste. Publish the site. Students do not need a FinanceLearn account.

How do I add one in Canvas?

Edit the page or assignment, switch the editor to HTML, and paste the snippet. Set the iframe height to 480 for a calculator or 560 for a graph if your theme crops the widget.

Will this work in Schoology, Moodle or Blackboard?

Yes, anywhere the editor accepts an iframe or raw HTML. If a host strips iframes, paste the snippet into an HTML widget or a custom block instead of the rich-text box.

Ready for one period

Six classroom activity packs

Teach all six national personal finance topics with original fictional cases. Each pack has a separate student handout, five tasks, three checked resources, a teacher key, and a four-point evidence check. Each teacher guide also has one complete printable packet to download and keep offline. No roster upload or student account is needed.

Plan the semester

Ready teaching routines

Start with the personal finance pacing guide, then use bell ringers to open class and exit tickets to check what landed. The review games cover cumulative practice, while the paycheck classroom activity is a complete lesson for the first income unit. Every resource works without a roster upload or student account.

Plan from an outcome

Grade 12 standards crosswalk

Start with one of 20 selected outcomes across all six national personal finance topics. Each mapping names the student task, an observable evidence prompt, two checked resources, and whether the activity is direct or only supporting. The crosswalk is independent and does not claim official endorsement or a complete curriculum.
