Primary Economics by Illuminations

In this lesson, students play the role of a consumer as they learn how to use different combinations of coins to make money amounts up to twenty-five cents. In this fun activity, students (Pre-K through 2nd grade) earn money and save it in their piggy banks until they have the exact amount to purchase an item of their choice.
