Actuarial Foundation

Families hunting for real-world math and money lessons often overlook the Actuarial Foundation, a nonprofit quietly producing excellent free resources. Supported by professionals in the actuarial field, the foundation offers classroom-ready materials, contests, and scholarships aimed at strengthening math skills and financial literacy. While designed primarily for schools, many of the lesson plans and activity books adapt well to motivated homeschools, especially in upper elementary through high school. Parents appreciate the authentic contexts—insurance, risk, budgeting—that help teens see why math matters beyond tests. The resources themselves are free to download, making them a high-value supplement for project-based units or career exploration. Because some materials lean classroom-heavy, you may need to trim group activities or combine roles, but the underlying problems are solid.
