Let's Go Shopping with US Currency using real- life scenarios

About this curriculum

Real-life scenarios help students learn about money. Age-appropriate activities concentrate on what is fun and interesting for young children, such as a candy store, a flea market, a trip to the beach, role-playing in a grocery store, and restaurant setting. Your students will learn the curriculum expectations for money as well as lessons in saving, earning, spending, and fundraising. Learning how to use and identify money is a crucial skill for students to develop. This skill is more quickly integrated into the students’ abilities when the task is of importance to them. In this unit, students will learn how to identify money in humourous – real life situations and to spend money in contexts that are of importance and interest. Students will enjoy the shopping scenarios and the freedom to make shopping choices. The scenarios are based on situations that K-2 students might find themselves in or imagine themselves doing. When students are having fun and feeling engaged in their learning, acquisition is acquired at a much quicker pace and the learning connections occur at a much deeper and more valid level.…
