This short video features Allan Banks, a literacy instructor in Nova Scotia, showing ways to use money to teach both math and life skills.
He uses a web-based game that tests a learner’s ability to calculate the correct change when a purchase is made. However, if a computer isn’t available, the same game can be played using real or play money.
This learning activity can be used in a classroom or during one-on-one tutoring sessions with adult learners.
