Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of methods for enhancing financial literacy within the context of mathematics education. Eighth-grade students was introduced to word problems with financial content, enabling the analysis of the impact on their mathematical reasoning and financial thinking skills. Participants was divided into two groups: the control group received traditional instruction, while the experimental group was taught using integrated financial problems. The findings indicated that applying real-life financial contexts positively influenced students’ interest in mathematics and their attitudes toward the subject. Another point is that students demonstrated improved practical problem - solving abilities and a higher level of financial awareness. These outcomes support an importance of systematically incorporating financial literacy elements into the school math curriculum.
