Help me give my students a reason to love math by creating a hands-on learning room where they will have their own classroom store they can earn classroom math bucks to shop at!

My Project
As a teacher who LOVES math but struggled to focus on word problems in early elementary, I want to teach my students to love math and look forward to learning more of it. I will use these items to create a classroom "shop" where my students will learn how to count money and manage it on their own. My students are ones that need intervention in math and reading, and I want to bridge that gap in a way that applies hands-on application so it sticks with them.
My students will earn different amounts of fake money by completing assignments, reaching milestones, and working hard.
They will keep their own register books to keep track of how much they save and spend. They will learn how to count money as the cashier by adding and subtracting what the other students buy. They will also learn how to manage their money on random sale days. These supplies will allow me to teach real-world lessons in a way that these students can actually enjoy math. The little toys will help stock the shelves of the bookcase with items they can buy. My students may struggle with math now, but I believe with the right tools and lessons tailored to their needs, they will not only thrive, but will also learn to challenge themselves to dream big and go after those dreams as they grow!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
