You should have received an email from [email protected] to confirm your email registration. From there, you can log in to your Intertwined Account at app.intertwinedfinance.com and begin setting up your classrooms.

If you can't find the email, check your spam or promotions folder, or reach out to us using the chat bubble in the bottom-right corner of any page, and we'll get you set up.

After logging in, you'll land on your Dashboard, where all of your classes live. To create your first classroom:

You can create as many classes as you need — one for each period, section, or course you teach. Each class keeps its own roster, progress, and gradebook.

Once your class is created, click into it to start building your roster. You have two options:

As students join, you'll see them populate under your class roster, and you'll be able to track each student's progress as they move through the material.

This is where Intertwined comes to life. Head to the Courses tab to open the full library of content assigned to your class. Here's how to make the most of it:

Browse the full curriculum. Each course is organized into modules and lessons, laid out in a recommended teaching order. You can open any lesson to preview exactly what your students will see — readings, interactive activities, and end-of-lesson checks for understanding.

Preview before you teach. Click into any module to review the content ahead of class. Every lesson includes the core concepts, real-world examples, and the questions students will answer, so you can plan your pacing with confidence.

Move through it your way. You're not locked into a fixed path. Teach the course start to finish, or jump to the units that fit your scope and sequence. Students can work through lessons at their own pace, and you'll see their progress and quiz performance update in real time.

Track understanding. As students complete lessons and quizzes, their results flow into your class view, so you can quickly spot who's mastering the material and who might need a little extra support.

Open the Teaching Toolkit tab for everything you need to teach with Intertwined beyond the student-facing content. Depending on your course, you'll find resources like a syllabus and pacing guide, lecture slides, worksheets, answer keys, and supporting materials to help you structure your semester or year.

You can also explore Intertwined's Arcade and Calculators in this area.

Intertwined's simulators let students apply what they're learning in a hands-on, competitive way:

Stock Market Simulator — Turn your classroom into an investing center. Students build and manage portfolios using real-time data from 100K+ securities across global exchanges. You can set each class's starting trading balance (we recommend $100,000), define trading dates, and run investment competitions with leaderboards to keep students engaged.

Personal Budget Simulator — Students master budgeting, saving, and spending through AI-generated, real-life scenarios that adapt to each student's choices. The simulation carries them through life stages — from high school and college all the way through retirement — as they build credit, handle curveballs, and manage a monthly budget.

Business Startup Simulator — Students step into the shoes of an entrepreneur, picking an industry track and growing a company from a small business into a global enterprise. AI generates personalized scenarios around hiring, company culture, funding, and investor relations, and you can set the difficulty level and fail-point thresholds (Current Market Value, Employee Wellness, Gross Revenue, and Profit/Loss) for your class.

Economy Simulator — A multiplayer classroom simulation where students experience economic decision-making together in real time, putting the concepts behind markets and the broader economy into a shared, interactive experience.

Each simulator reinforces the concepts in your curriculum, so students don't just read about financial decisions — they make them. You can launch these directly from your class to reinforce the concepts covered in the curriculum.

Intertwined is more than a platform — it's a community of educators teaching financial literacy. Head to the PD & Community page to get the most out of teaching with us:

Professional development. Access training resources, walkthroughs, and best practices to help you teach with confidence — whether it's your first year with Intertwined or your fifth. These materials are designed to fit into your schedule and help you get up to speed quickly.

Connect with other educators. Join a growing community of teachers using Intertwined in their classrooms. Share what's working, swap classroom ideas, and learn how other educators are bringing financial literacy to life for their students.

Stay in the loop. This is also where you'll find updates, new resources, and opportunities to grow alongside the Intertwined educator community.

Want to bring Intertwined to more classrooms — or make sure your program is funded year after year? The Advocacy Toolkit gives you everything you need to champion financial literacy at your school and in your community.

Make the case. Find ready-to-use materials that help you communicate the value of Intertwined to administrators, department heads, and decision-makers at your school or district.

Secure funding. Learn how to fund your program through partnerships — including local bank sponsorships. Under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), banks are encouraged to support financial literacy initiatives in their communities, which can make them a natural partner in bringing Intertwined to your students at no cost to your school. The toolkit walks you through identifying the right partners and starting the conversation.

Spread the word. Use the resources here to advocate for financial literacy more broadly — helping ensure every student has the chance to build the skills that shape their financial future.

We're here to help you have a great first year with Intertwined. If you have any questions while getting set up:
