Summary: 
"Bite-Sized Financial Literacy" is designed to be dynamic and engaging, utilizing a mixture of teaching methods to cater to diverse learning styles. Each 30-minute lesson is structured around a central project or scenario that requires students to apply financial principles practically. Each week will follow a very similar schedule. During the first class of each week, students will be introduced to the financial challenge, question, and project for the week. They will then learn, discuss, and explore key vocabulary and principles to develop a foundational understanding of the concept (Order of concepts listed below in the Topics/Schedule Section). Then, during the second class of each week, they will tackle the presented challenge and project to create a solution in pursuit of the wisest/best financial decision.
