Money as You Learn shows the areas for integration of personal finance and teaching of Common Core State Standards for Mathematics by grade band. All mathematics tasks were collaboratively developed with Illustrative Mathematics, which provides guidance to states, assessment consortia, testing companies, and curriculum developers by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students experience in a faithful implementation of the Common Core State Standards, and by publishing other tools that support implementation of the standards. The tasks are also available at http://illustrativemathematics.org and are tagged “financial literacy.”
