Money math comes up in real life all the time, so be sure scholars are ready for the challenge with these word problems. They use multiple math operations to solve and show work for each one. There is an example to get them started before completing five problems on their own. One problem includes a fraction and two of them have decimals. Extend this to an even more applicable concept by asking kids the last thing they bought. How much was it? Can they find a partner and determine how much they spent together? Who spent more?
