From our teachers' playbook

Dollars, cents and real-life math

What do 4th graders learn about money?

Fourth graders use money to solve real word problems with all four operations. They add and subtract amounts with decimals ($4.75 + $2.50 = $7.25), figure out change, and multiply to find the cost of several items. Money also connects to decimals: kids see that $0.25 is 25 hundredths of a dollar. The click is when they realize money math is just place value with a dollar sign.

Our favorite ways to teach money

Money is the most real-world math kids do all year. These moves keep it practical.

Run a class store

Set up a pretend store with price tags under $10. Kids buy two or three items, add the total and figure out their change from a $20 bill. They check each other's receipts.

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Money meets multiplication

Ask "Six notebooks cost $3 each, what is the total?" Money word problems are a great reason to practice multiplication, so pair them with a quick multi-digit review.

Why it works: mixing different kinds of problems in one practice set helped students do far better on a later test (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Money questions, answered

What money skills do 4th graders learn?

They solve word problems with money using adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, and they connect cents to decimals. Making change is a big one.

How do you teach making change?

Count up from the price to the amount paid. If something costs $3.60 and you pay with $5, count up 40 cents to $4, then $1 more to $5, so the change is $1.40.

How does money help with decimals?

Money gives decimals a real meaning. A dime is one tenth of a dollar and a penny is one hundredth, so kids can picture tenths and hundredths easily.

How can kids practice money at home?

Let them total the grocery list, compare prices per item or count the change after a purchase. Real money in their hands beats any worksheet.
