Curriculum Alignment: Yukon

Part of the Canadian Provincial Curriculum Alignment series.

A three-book Canadian financial-literacy workbook series by Michael McCracken: Book 1 — The Money Starter Pack (foundations, suggested Grades 6–9), Book 2 — The Grind (paycheques, taxes, credit, investing; Grades 9–12), Book 3 — Endgame (advanced planning; senior grades/adult). Print workbooks, 8.5×11, greyscale, with write-in activities throughout. Yukon delivers the British Columbia curriculum — the BC one-pager applies in full; this sheet restates the anchors.

Yukon schools have used BC’s curriculum since the 2017–20 rollout, so BC’s graduation requirements and courses apply: Career-Life Education (required credits) and the mathematics pathways including Workplace Mathematics 10.

How The Money Skill Tree maps to the Yukon curriculum

Provincial/territorial anchor	Coverage in The Money Skill Tree (Canadian Edition)
Career-Life Education (required) — financial planning and budgeting for post-graduation life; entrepreneurship	B1 Ch 9 (budgeting, incl. modified ratios for high-cost communities); B2 Ch 6–7 (emergency fund, automation); B3 Ch 8 (goal costing); B1 Ch 4 + B3 Ch 4 (entrepreneurship)
Workplace Mathematics 10 — financial literacy unit	B2 Ch 1 (types of income: wage, salary, commission, piecework, tips, contracts — all with worked examples), Ch 2 (gross/net and deduction mechanics)
Mathematics 10–12 financial threads	B1 Ch 7 (compound interest), Ch 2–3 (currency exchange; unit pricing); B2 Ch 5, 8–10 (credit and investing)

B1 = Book 1 (The Money Starter Pack) · B2 = Book 2 (The Grind) · B3 = Book 3 (Endgame) · “Ch” = chapter.

Instructional features

Every chapter closes with a hands-on Skill Quest and Elite Quest (write-in activities with worked examples), Guild Chat discussion prompts (adaptable to pair-share or guest-speaker formats), a SOLO reflection prompt, and a self-assessment Summary Checklist. All dollar figures, tax rates, and contribution limits reflect 2026 published values, with in-text reminders to verify current rates at canada.ca.

Scope

Northern cost-of-living realities are acknowledged directly in the budgeting chapter (“When 50% Isn’t Possible”), which teaches modified budget ratios rather than treating 50/30/20 as universal.
