Everything you need to run the lesson.
Send students straight to the simulator with a simple link. No setup, no accounts — just open and go.
Built-in prompts at every step help students explain their choices and compare trade-offs as a group.
Each screen maps to Jump$tart National Standards. Easy documentation for curriculum requirements.
Students can download their results for reflection, portfolio evidence, or take-home conversations.
Use the included lesson hooks and reflection questions to integrate the tool into any unit.
No accounts, no passwords, no friction — students focus on learning, not managing credentials.
Four ways to drop it into your unit.
Have students complete the check before a unit on budgeting, careers, or financial planning. Use results as a 'before' snapshot.
Use the Career Explorer tab to connect academic subjects to real salaries and explore what education paths lead where.
Project a sample result and ask students to defend their choices — why that city? Why that budget trade-off?
After a financial literacy unit, revisit the tool. Compare new results to the original and show how their thinking has evolved.
