Are you longing to add more math-based activities to your curriculum? Is the relationship between math and personal finance simply outside the scope of what you want or have time to teach?  

Thanks to the respondents, we have some key findings to share with you:

• The majority (76%) of educators embed math content and skill development in their personal finance classes at least once per week
• The top challenges to including additional math-related personal finance activities are split between students having weak math skills (47%), educators finding it difficult to locate good activities (47%) and students having a wide variety of skill levels (45%).
• Respondents identify that they would like to incorporate data analysis (61%), graph interpretation (58%) and number & quantity (56%) more frequently in their personal finance classes
