In my third-grade classroom, the Apple Pages app has become an essential tool for teaching financial literacy in a creative and engaging way. My students use Pages to design their own Savings Plans Books, where they record earnings, spending, and savings goals as part of our financial literacy unit.
This project not only builds digital literacy but also integrates key math skills like addition, subtraction, and even early concepts of budgeting and percentages. Students calculate their totals, analyze spending patterns, and reflect on their savings progress—all within a beautifully designed, interactive format.
The flexibility of Pages allows students to customize their books, making the learning experience both fun and personal. They’re proud to share their progress, and I love seeing how they take ownership of their financial plans while developing critical real-world skills.
It’s been a fantastic way to bring math to life and show students how numbers connect to everyday decisions. I’d love to hear how others are integrating Pages into their lessons—what’s worked well for you?

Great lesson idea for getting young students to start understanding the skills of financial literacy. I like your idea of the Savings Plan book via Pages. Thanks for the download.
California has recently passed a financial literacy requirement to graduate high school. I think high school students would benefit by using Pages to track savings and spending. I know i would!
