-Ask your child to keep track of his/her allowance over time—to keep a record of how money has been received, spent and/or how much has been saved for future use. Be sure your child is using decimals to denote dollars and cents.
-When filling the gas tank, have your child observe how gallons of gas accumulate and correspond to cost in dollars and cents. Ask your child to use division and calculate the cost per gallon.
-When shopping at the grocery store have your child hunt for the lowest unit prices for a product you’re purchasing.
-Search newspapers and magazines or the internet for charts, tables, graphs and especially “infographics” that contain numerical information. Discuss specific information with your child.
-Find the locations of sites of interest on a road map or atlas using the coordinates from the map.
