Organise a clothing swap or plan a thrift store haul using real budgeting and value skills. Kids calculate cost-per-wear, compare prices, assess quality versus cost, and make smart spending decisions. Financial literacy meets sustainability.
Ages 8–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Your child runs a clothing swap and works out what things are genuinely worth. Cost per wear is a division problem that changes how you look at a price tag. The gap between new and secondhand is a percentage. By the end, value is not the number printed on the label.
When maths lives in real money, real measurements, and real decisions, it stops being a worksheet and becomes a tool. A kid who uses it to get something they actually want remembers it for life, and they did it with you. That is the moment "I taught my kid something real" starts to feel possible.
