Why is financial education important?

Money is an important topic for the children to understand. It can also serve as a great tool for assessing and developing a wide range of number skills. Through coin counting, the educator is giving a context for counting in multiples. Small coins give the educator an opportunity to consolidate number bonds. Multiples of 10 are being used frequently so there are lots of opportunities to discuss mental maths strategies.

Teaching Money

Once the educator introduces decimal recording of prices, they can investigate how the place value system is used and the value and place of the digits. Use this topic as a way to plan and assess other learning objectives as children will be applying their estimation, calculation and number sense skills through their work in this area.
