July 12, 2021. How to teach budgeting and money management. Budgeting and money management is one of my very favorite skills to teach in special education. We use money every day and it's so meaningful for our students to have this experience as well. From understanding if you have enough to make a payment and knowing how to add and count money, our students need more exposure to how to manage their money. I also work with my students to read their bank accounts and know how to use a credit or debit card. Creating interactive digital resources that incorporate functional skills is so important, especially for my students. I need them to help my students master and maintain important money math skills in their future lives. They may not be able to access their own bank account right now, but in the future, they will. Grab this freebie for students working on managing their bank accounts. This past year, we have been unable to take community trips to practice our budgeting and money management skills, which is why interactive digital resources and activities are the next best thing. Students can simulate buying and paying for items with and without their debit cards. You can use these activities directly in your classroom without the need to go anywhere. Another great way to practice this skill is by creating a school store to purchase items with money or card. Are you looking to help your students continue to build these skills digitally? You're in luck. This resource bundle I have created includes interactive boom cards.
