Abstract

Financial education is an important topic in the general education curriculum of many countries around the world. The paper presents the concept of financial education and some situations of integrating financial education in teaching mathematics in high schools. Methods of summarizing expert experience, theoretical research methods and interviews are used in this paper. Research results show that financial education plays an increasingly important role in life and the integration of financial education in teaching is now becoming an inevitable trend. The paper also presents opportunities and some forms of integrating financial education in teaching through organizing teaching activities of lessons, topics or hands-on experiences. Two integrated orientations in the research help teachers exploit the content of textbooks or design their own situations to organize financial education for high school students in teaching mathematics.

Keywords
