Math
- The child learned about different denominations of currency and how to count money.
- They practiced calculating the total cost of items and giving correct change.
- The child also learned about discounts and sales, understanding how to calculate the final price after applying a percentage off.
- They applied their knowledge of addition and subtraction to keep track of their expenses and stay within a budget.
For continued development, encourage the child to create their own pretend store at home. They can use play money and price tags to set up different items for sale. This will allow them to practice counting money, calculating totals, and making change in a fun and interactive way. Additionally, you can ask the child to create a shopping list and compare prices at different stores or online to find the best deals.
