Money is an important concept that children should be taught. During the growing years, the knowledge children have about money is very limited.
Schools and parents wish to pass on more information regarding this but unfortunately do not find time to educate the children in an appropriate way. Eventually learning about money happens through experience.
To inculcate the interest to learn more about money, our school celebrated the Entrepreneurs day where children sold home made food/ hosted a game and learnt hands on money transaction.
In this world of globalisation, traveling to several countries is inevitable. In order to educate our children about the currencies across the world, we conducted a Money museum event where children displayed currencies of different countries. The children compared their value and the material they were made.
Our grade 4 students were also taken to a Forex branch to understand the currency value. The children were enthralled to learn so much about money. Their interest was kindled and their boring Math class transformed into a journey of exploration and learning.
Mr. Siddharth Sivasailam, a numismatics expert interacted with students of grades 4 to 8 and shared his knowledge about coins and money from different countries.
