Help Kids With Math In Real Life

July 13th, 2016 by Ellen Donnelly

Will we use this in real life? Children always seem to ask this question when they are learning math. The answer is yes, math is everywhere. From counting money to budgeting and even taxes, math is in everyday life and usually has to do with personal finance. Geometry to Trigonometry might not be something everyone uses in their career, but everyone needs to file taxes. Although it is not challenging, children need to learn it early because math is relevant in real life. But when is it a good time to start teaching kids? – The sooner the better. This article breaks down when and how to discuss the different aspects of money. It starts from the simple exchange of goods, and then moves into the more difficult budgeting and taxes, all skills that are valuable for kids to learn. Teaching and guiding your child along the way will do wonders for how they approach money which is beneficial for their future.
