Incorporating money with needs and wants can be hard for younger minds to understand. In this session, participants will learn how to incorporate financial literacy into their existing money lessons. In addition to learning the value of coins, a number of real world simulations available through private sites online and thematic units will be shared. Children learn best when they are in control of their learning decisions and experience math.
