The Financial Wizard Program is a different approach to learning math that teams business professionals with teachers in elementary school classrooms. The program brings the joy, challenge, logic and beauty of math alive through the use of hands-on, activity based lessons that focus on basic math concepts, and critical thinking. Students are able to broaden their horizons by gaining valuable direct exposure to business professionals. Children benefit from this program because it helps to change their attitude about math. The volunteers team up with classroom teachers to deliver a unique set of lessons in basic math concepts, money concepts and financial markets.
All lessons are activity based.
