The new Third Edition of Financial Fitness for Life 9-12 Teacher’s Edition provides:

The Grades 9-12 Teacher Guide was designed to be used with Financial Fitness for Life's student workbooks, allowing you to measure your students' progress across four areas of personal finance: earning an income, saving, spending and credit, and money management. Between these four themes there are 22 lessons, each focusing on a different topic and ranging in length from one 45-minute period to a week's worth of classroom experience.

Lessons for older students illustrate certain uses of more abstract representations. Specific to grades 9-12 are a variety of activities, including The Millionaire Game, which teaches students about self-discipline, planning, and making sound choices.
