Money Blocks Lessons, Activities, and Games
Money Blocks help young learners build early financial literacy skills through hands-on activities. Each block represents a coin, giving students a visual and tactile way to understand money concepts. This free course is designed to complement Money Blocks manipulatives, offering step-by-step lesson instructions, printable worksheets with visual activities, and optional games to reinforce concepts. The flexible pacing and hands-on engagement allow students to progress at their own speed while mastering skills like identifying coins, counting values, making change, and expressing amounts with cents and dollars.
Note: The Money Blocks manipulatives are a supplemental resource and are not a replacement for the Integer Blocks used in core Math-U-See levels.
