Setting Up a Store Math Game is a game that is fun and kids usually enjoy it very much. This math game is suitable for parents to play with thier children or teacher to play with students.
Who should play the Setting Up a Store Math Game?
The Setting Up a Store Math Game is mostly for kids learning to count and who are learning the value of different coins, etc, such as kids of age 4-7.
Once kids know definitely how to count, this math game loses its challenge and appeal. It's very cheap to play especially if you use household items, all you need is a few dollars worth of change, some trinkets, and pieces of paper to put prices on the items.
Buying math game
First you can gather a bunch of cheap but fun items. Kids love all kinds of items even cheap ones. Items you might want to gather are:
-
pencils,
-
colorful erasers,
-
candy,
-
playing cards,
-
crayons,
-
bouncy balls, etc.
Put different money amounts on them and then give the kid $5 or $10 in change. Instruct the kid to use the proper amount to buy the items he or she wants.
If the child got it right on the first try then he or she could keep the item. If the child miscounted then the adult kepts it for use in the next game.
Selling math game
Alternatively, the adult can "buy" the item with a $1 or $5 bill and the child has to make correct change.
If the child does it right on the first try then the child gets to keep it. If the child gives an incorrect amount of change, then the money goes back for next time.
Setting up a store
You can also do this without having children keep the items. For example, you can just use household things such as food from the kitchen and set up a "store."
Kids always loved this game whether they were playing to keep the things or not because they find it fun to count out money.
