Financial Literacy
There are many opportunities to engage your children in conversations about money. From a very young age children are interested in learning about money and leveraging these conversations can have lifelong benefits. From learning the value of coins and dollars, to budgeting and finances, talking about money supports many different mathematical concepts (e.g., adding, subtracting, percentages and estimation).
Here is a parent guide with more information about supporting financial literacy at home - A Parent’s Guide: Financial Literacy in Ontario Schools, Grades 4 to 12.
