From filling out practice job applications to learning to balance a budget, Financial Literacy & Life Skills for Kids 8-9 Workbook from Evan-Moor builds important money-related life skills through short stories, response questions, and engaging activities. For each topic, kids read a story illustrating the concept in real life. Then, they answer questions about the topic, including a review of new vocabulary, followed by a few more practice pages with related problems to solve. These do involve some age-appropriate math skills. Finally, a game or activity helps the student make real-world connections. Everything is straightforward, written to the student and easy to understand with colorful but not overwhelming graphics. Students will learn about shopping, earning money, saving money, raising money, banks, credit cards, and the costs of going different places. Reference sheets in the beginning include number lines, a multiply to 100 table, how to make change, and how to add and subtract decimals. At the end are several sheets of play money to cut out for the activities and an answer key. All pages are perforated. 96 pages, softcover.
