Math in Shopping

Pocket money: Give kids a budget and let them plan a shopping list and ask about the savings later (ask if 10$ and each toffee cost you 2$ then how many did you buy)

Price Comparisons: Compare prices per unit (e.g., per ounce, per piece) to find the best deals. (what will be the price of this shirt after a 30% discount)

Change Calculation: Practice counting money and calculating change. (the toy costed you 26$ and you gave a 50$ note how much will you get in return?)

Skills Applied – Money Management Skills

Isn’t math everywhere but sometimes it can be hard for kids to apply math knowledge in real life. they might be able to understand the concept but might not know how we will use it. real-life application is important for such reasons. real-life application makes the child strong at math and independent and confident since they know what they are doing.

Give them problems and they will solve it using math!! make them a problem solver
