Stay tuned for one of our most-requested resources - review materials! This month, we’re releasing study guides for each unit and a fun cumulative game to review for the final exam. With these new study materials, we’ll be retiring the existing Quizlets.

Sneak Peak - Unit Review

We’ll be releasing a Unit Review for each unit, with questions aligned to the Trimester Course, Semester Course, and Full-Year Course.

Each Unit Review has 4 parts:

1. Summary of core topics
2. Fill-in-the-blank vocabulary review
3. Study guide questions on core concepts
4. Kahoot or Quizizz with 20 multiple choice questions

Plus, Unit Reviews will be available in Spanish!

Sneak Peak - Final Review

We’ll also be releasing PLAY: Final Review Jeopardy, as well as a Final Review Kahoot and Quizizz.

Students will compete in a Jeopardy-style game that covers the core vocabulary and content tested on the Final Exam. 

Plus, the 30-question Final Review Kahoot and Quizizz offer additional review in a multiple-choice format. 

Retiring Quizlets - And Keeping Kahoots and Quizizz!

With the upcoming release of these focused study materials, we decided to retire the existing personal finance Quizlets. Note: this does not apply to the Financial Algebra Quizlets, which will remain available due to the specific math content. 

Why retire the Quizlets?

The purpose of the Quizlets was to review unit vocabulary. However, we will have even better options for vocabulary review:

• The new Unit Review vocabulary will be the most aligned to each Unit Test
• The Personal Finance Dictionary offers the most comprehensive vocabulary list for each unit.

Additionally, we heard from teachers that you were encountering more restrictions on the Quizlet platform. With the new Unit Review and Personal Finance Dictionary, you’ll always have easy access to that content. 

When will the Quizlets be retired?
We'll retire the Quizlets within the next month. But don't worry - they will remain available until the new Unit Reviews are released. 

Can I still use the Quizlets?
If you want to continue using the Quizlets after they are retired, you will be able to find them in the Retired Resources spreadsheet found on your Teacher Toolkit page. Please note, NGPF will no longer be maintaining or updating these Quizlets. 

What about Kahoot and Quizizz?
The Kahoot and Quizizz for each unit will remain available and are part of each Unit Review.
