How Do You Teach Kids Money Math?
To reinforce the money math lessons your kids are studying in school, use creative math games to make practice educational and entertaining. You’ll be able to teach money math skills like identifying coins and bills, counting and making change, but they’ll be having too much fun to realize they’re learning. Practice money math by playing restaurant. Collect takeout menus from favorite eateries. Fill a toy cash register and wallet with play coins and bills. Use a sales slip to take your child’s order, total the bill and have him count out the amount due. Switch roles, but pay with more money so he’ll use money math to calculate the proper change. Set up a concession stand on movie night. Create a buffet of popcorn, veggies, candy and drinks in authentic containers. Assign items varied prices. Provide a handful of real money so your kids will use money math to “buy” refreshments. Open a pretend store. Display an assortment of your kids’ favorite toys, books and movies and price items app
