Laying foundations for Strong Financial Futures

Experts say that financial habits are set during elementary school ages so why wait to try to correct those habits. Together we can work to help students develop good decision-making skills in their formative years.

The Kansas Council for Economic Education and its partners are proud to introduce Financial Foundations for Kansas Kids! FF4Kids is a comprehensive set of standards-based, interactive computer courseware lessons that integrate personal financial literacy and its underlying economic principles into the social studies, language arts and math curriculums. FF4Kids is designed to build upon this knowledge with grade appropriate programs/lessons.

The full interactive version of the courseware contains a total of 28 hours of interactive learning for students in grades K-2, 3-5, and 6-8. Each of the 75 lessons provides approximately 20 - 50 minutes of instruction delivered by engaging age-appropriate characters, and over 350 interactive activities including 157 math exercises. Assessments for each grade level are avaialable.

The video only portion is just the 75 without the interactive activities for now. We are working to re-create the activities. Most computers, with the exception of iPads, are still able to use the full interactive version through Chrome or Puffin browsers.

All K-12 schools in Kansas can receive access to the courseware and teacher training free-of-charge! Complete the online tutorial to find out how to get access to this great resource! FF4Kids courseware is available online.
