Lessons are progressive.
Students learn about Goods and Services then progress to Consumers and Producers.
Next, they learn how consumers and producers exchange goods and services.
The lesson culminates with how the exchange of goods and services affect the price of things we buy (supply/demand) and how positive and negative incentives influence our financial decisions.

Students are joined in one learning adventure by Anna Banks, the oldest of the Bankes Piglets: 3 dynamic and diverse “savers” and “spenders.” Some of the piglets make responsible financial choices already . . . and some have a bit to learn. The Goal Setting and Budget Creation portion of the program focuses on Anna, and the class helps her reach her goals by recognizing her good and bad financial habits, and helps her make responsible choices. By analyzing the habits of the piglets and helping them make better financial decisions, students learn the importance of “feeding the pig!”. Students build lasting knowledge of financial literacy concepts.
