Chapter 10: Math & Money
Children are learning about money long before they enter school. Nearly everywhere small children go, they are exposed to money. A child's attitude about money is developed early in life. If children observe good money management, they are more likely to model that behavior. Teaching children basic lessons about money increases their chance of developing a positive relationship with money as they age.
