FAQ

Questions teachers and schools ask

Can't find your answer? Send us a message.

How much does it cost?

Week 1 of every grade is free for everyone. The full program is an annual or monthly plan; districts (at least 100 students) can also pay by the year or by the month, and add Clever / ClassLink sign-in. See plans and pricing, start a free 4-week school trial, or get a quote for an invoice or purchase order.

What grades and topics does it cover?

Kindergarten to grade 8: 36 weekly lessons per grade, from coins and saving in kindergarten to credit, taxes, investing and insurance in grades 6–8. See the scope and sequence.

Is it aligned to standards?

Every lesson is tagged with the six areas of the National Standards for Personal Financial Education (Jump$tart Coalition and Council for Economic Education) and the grade's Common Core math standards. Codes for Illinois, Texas, Florida, North Dakota, Colorado, Georgia, Arizona, Utah (K–2) and Nebraska appear next to each lesson, with a printable coverage chart.

How do students sign in? Do they need an email?

No. A teacher or parent adds each student, who gets a username and a 6-character sign-in code. Schools can also use Clever, ClassLink, Google or Microsoft sign-in for adults. Students never need an email address.

What do you do with student data?

Only what the program needs: a first name or nickname, grade and progress. Student records are encrypted (AES-256-GCM), sign-in codes are stored only as hashes, there are no ads for students and we never sell or share data. See the security overview and student privacy laws.

Can we sign a data privacy agreement?

Yes. We work from the Student Data Privacy Consortium's National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA) with your state's exhibit, including Illinois SOPPA. Ask for our data privacy agreement pack.

Can I print everything?

Yes. Lesson plans, worksheets, answer keys, family letters, a full student workbook and a teacher's guide for each grade print cleanly or save as PDF, and lesson plans download as Word files.

Does it work offline?

Yes. After the first visit the app keeps working without an internet connection, and progress syncs when the connection comes back. You can also add it to the home screen of a Chromebook, iPad or phone.

Does it support English learners?

The whole program, lessons, quizzes, worksheets and family letters, is in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Every lesson has language-support notes and read-aloud, and students can choose a simpler reading level.

Is it accessible?

Read-aloud, three reading levels, larger text, an easy-read font, high contrast, dark mode and reduced motion are built in, and the app is tested with automated accessibility checks on every screen. A draft Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT 2.5) is available on request.

What devices does it run on?

Any modern browser on Chromebooks, Windows, Macs, iPads, iPhones and Android. Nothing to install.

Does it connect to our LMS or gradebook?

Teachers can export scores for Canvas, Schoology or a spreadsheet, send grades to Google Classroom, and districts can add Money Matters assignments to Canvas or Schoology with LTI 1.3 so scores flow back automatically.

How do we delete our data?

An administrator can delete any account and its records at any time, and we delete a school's data on request within the time your data privacy agreement sets.
