💡 Entrepreneur Fundamentals

Complete lesson syllabus

Every lesson below contains age-banded facts and quiz questions. Some lessons also include a make-or-explain artifact prompt. Titles are shown in their current course order.

1. What's Inside Your Piggy Bank?
   Money Identification · Counting Money · Savings Mindset
   Example: U.S. money has two forms: coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half-dollar, dollar coin) and paper bills ($1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100). Every dollar is divided into 100 cents.
2. Want vs. Need: The Two-List Game
   Wants Vs Needs · Decision Making · Savings Mindset
   Example: A 'need' is something required to survive and stay healthy: nutritious food, clean water, shelter, weather-appropriate clothing, basic medical care, and sleep. A 'want' is anything else — fun, comfort, status, entertainment.
3. Trading & Bartering: Before Money Existed
   Exchange Barter · History Of Money · Value
   Example: Before money existed, every economy on Earth was a 'barter economy' — people swapped goods and services directly. You'd trade 3 jars of honey for a clay pot, or a day of weeding fields for a bag of grain.

How age adaptation works

The lesson record contains separate fact sets and quiz questions for Pre-K, kindergarten, early elementary, and upper elementary. This is not the same paragraph with a smaller font: vocabulary, detail, and question demands can change by age band. Parents can still choose a different level if their child needs it.

Assessment and records

Course quizzes provide immediate practice feedback. Completion and progress can feed parent-managed records, but a quiz score is not a teacher-issued grade, independent diagnosis, or accredited course credit.
