Abstract Financial literacy is an essential skill for individuals, yet many countries are encountering many challenges to achieving the desired level of ideal financial literacy. Improving financial literacy requires integrating mathematical literacy with psychological, social, and cultural factors. Despite its importance, there is a lack of comprehensive research on enhancing financial literacy through mathematics education. Therefore, this study aims to provide a thorough review of efforts to improve financial literacy in mathematics learning from an early age. The study uses a qualitative approach, employing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Data were gathered from internationally indexed journals such as Scopus, ERIC, and Semantic, using keywords like “financial literacy in mathematics” and “financial literacy in school mathematics” from 2014 to 2024, yielding 253 articles. The synthesis process followed PRISMA guidelines, narrowing the selection to 25 high-quality articles on the topic. The research identifies strategies for integrating financial literacy into mathematics instruction, focusing on task frameworks, learning models, media, curriculum modification and curricular activities, the role of teachers, and addressing challenges. These strategies help prepare future generations to be more financially literate and competent in managing their financial decisions.
