Parents and teachers should prioritize money calculation skills in young children, particularly those aged 5-6, as these skills lay the foundation for lifelong financial literacy. At this age, children are naturally curious about money, often observing transactions during shopping trips. Introducing basic concepts of counting, recognizing coins, and understanding the idea of exchange at this stage harnesses that curiosity and cultivates essential math skills.

Furthermore, money calculation skills nurture critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. When children learn to manage small amounts of money, they also develop skills such as comparing values, making decisions, and understanding the concept of budgeting—albeit in simple forms. These early lessons in basic financial concepts can reduce anxiety around money in the future, establishing healthy financial habits early on.

Additionally, reinforcing these skills encourages a positive relationship with math, often viewed with apprehension by many students. Engaging children with fun activities, like playing shop or using real coins, makes learning more enjoyable. By prioritizing money calculations at this developmental stage, parents and teachers can empower children with both mathematical and life skills, ensuring they are better equipped to navigate financial situations as they grow.
