Pocket money is a rite of passage in childhood. It’s fun for children to have money in hand. But it can also help them learn a whole lot of math.

Saving a portion of pocket money is one way. Let your kids figure out how much they can save and calculate the interest their saving can earn.

Younger kids can play counting games. Older ones can actually start to keep proper accounts to the last paisa. They can be advised how they can invest part of it and they can calculate how it increases month by month in a saving account! Visits to the bank will provide more info about how much interest can be earned on different types of deposits.

Give them challenges like marking their expenditure on a graph, calculating the percentage of usage and savings. Who knows you could develop math wizards!
