2025 consumer math curriculum update

2025 consumer math curriculum update

Part of owning the Scaffolded Consumer Math Curriculum is free yearly updates to the curriculum's income taxes unit so that students always have the most up-to-date information. This update happens every January, after which you can go into your account and re-download the curriculum for free. This year's curriculum update is complete and all files are ready to be re-downloaded.


All W-2, W-4, 1040 and Schedule 1 images in the curriculum have been updated in the student book, teacher book, student notebook sheets, PowerPoints, warm-ups and quizzes. All answer keys and completed 1040s have been updated to reflect this year's numbers.

For tax year 2024, the Standard Deduction for single people increased from $13,850 to $14,600, and the additional amount added to a dependent's income on the dependents worksheet (Publication 501, Table 8) increased from $400 to $450, if they earned less than the Standard Deduction.


Some years the 1040 has changed significantly, other years it barely changes. In 2018, the 1040 was suddenly a lot shorter than previous years, but it grew back to its present size by 2022. I keep a free 1040 cheat sheet updated here every year. It's set up to help working teens file their federal income tax returns, but it can also be used for simple tax returns.



When the curriculum was first available in 2022, it was a giant zip folder. I had heard from a few teachers that the file was too big for their computers to download, so I broke the files up into individual downloads. This year, I added a "download all at once" option so that you have the choice to again download the entire curriculum in one go. The individual files are still there in case the file is too big for your internet/computer.
