Numeracy Websites - Lisa Has Something for You

Here is a little something from one of our followers, Lisa:

​

There are lots of practical consumer math lessons and games for all ages. Lisa was very excited to share it with you! She thought it could help other students and families. She said the Shopping and Spending games were really fun! :) Will you include it on here for her?  

We really appreciate the help! And to pay it forward my student Lisa asked me to send you this collection money math games and practice sites:

Anyone who has ever received incorrect change knows just how important math is when managing money. Calculators and cash registers are great tools, but they are only as useful as the numbers that are fed into them. Being able to quickly make changes in one's head can save students money and help them develop math skills that will help them for a lifetime.

In addition to understanding and applying basic addition and subtraction math skills to calculate costs and change, other money-centric concepts like planning, saving, and investing are also key elements to help students start to build their own healthy money habits down the road.

Whether you have elementary school students, high school students –or both– in your home, there are plenty of resources and online money games to incorporate and explain these ideas and help them apply what they are learning about math and money in real life.
