@shadami: Thank you!
@tsundererra: I have a feeling there will be multiples of what I made, but I couldn't go with my other idea because it had been seen recently before and everyone would know it was me. XD but gummy fish has one particular pose that I NEEDED and made due with something else.

So, here in my state-
Personal Financial Literacy is part of the math standards for 4th grade and 5th grade.
Personal financial literacy. The student applies mathematical process standards to manage one's financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security. The student is expected to:
(A) distinguish between fixed and variable expenses;
(B) calculate profit in a given situation;
(C) compare the advantages and disadvantages of various savings options;
(D) describe how to allocate a weekly allowance among spending; saving, including for college; and sharing; and
(E) describe the basic purpose of financial institutions, including keeping money safe, borrowing money, and lending.
HOWEVER-
and we're about to get really real for a second-
The state standardized test that the school/teachers/students get rated on has maybe 1 or 2 questions of the 42 about that topic. Other skills like multi-step word problems involving all operations have the bulk of the test. Then fractions/geometry take up another huge chunk and all the rest is miscellaneous data/graphs/conversions.
It gets like a week of coverage right before the state test and then we're expected to move on to "mastery skills" after the test in the few weeks of school left. (I actually just looked at the scope and sequence because I was curious about how much time they gave it this year and it was 0. 0 weeks given to financial literacy this year.)
I've tried integrating some financial literacy in with our decimals unit because it makes sense and works well together, but the purpose of a bank/taxes/advantages/disadvantages and all of that other stuff has to wait until that week or so. Now, if I were teaching JUST math, it would be easier to get everything they need to know for that test and for life. But I'm not teaching just math. I get about 2 hours to teach math/science/character education. They're trying to throw Social Studies on me too, but I keep throwing a hissy fit over that. It fits better with reading and writing.
All that to say, I wish I could teach kids important things, but these are things the state has determined as not being important enough to assess. Not assessed=Not taught explicitly. In a perfect world, everything would be taught to mastery level, but these things have been deemed nonessential by the state.
//Rant over. XD
