This lesson helps students understand the value of money. There are stark differences in economic wealth between families. Teaching students about the value of money is important in helping them to understand that although their families might be financially comfortable, many other families are struggling. This is a way for even the youngest of children to see how privileged they are.

Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
