Teach Money Through Meaning, Not Math
Every school teaches the math.
Every curriculum covers the numbers.
But students are still anxious, impulsive, disconnected, and confused about money.
Because math is not the missing piece.
Mindset is.
Research from Harvard’s Project Zero and the National Institute for Play shows that students learn best through story, visuals, and safe conversations. This is why our approach works across grades and learning styles.
Why This Matters
Students need support with:
- values and meaning
- impulse control
- long-term thinking
- real-life money choices
- intentional spending, saving, and giving
These aren’t math skills.
They’re life skills.
Worksheets can’t teach this.
Conversations can.
What Students Learn
The Awesome Stuff teaches your kids four mindsets that change everything:
1
to ask what matters most.
2
to build choice, possibility, and independence.
3
and understand how time grows habits and wealth.
4
and see generosity as connection, not hierarchy.
This is financial literacy that stays with them for life because it’s tied to who they become, not what they memorize.
