-Guest Post by Jozef Raczka- Financial Education–Teaching Children About Compound Interest It’s never too early to start teaching children math through money. Certain subjects, such as math, can feel more relatable to children by giving them a grounding in recognizable, tangible real-world concepts. Equally, by connecting it to their learning, it can foster a healthy understanding and respect for money and the cost of things. There are multiple different types of interest: simple, accrued and compound but where the lessons from simple and accrued are perhaps easier to understand, compound inte ..read more

Hello out there, As you may have noticed I haven’t been super active in posting math activities or things in general. I have been taking time for me, my health, and my family. I have missed doing some of the business side of things, but honestly it was nice to take a breather. I’m excited that over the last three years since I made my Kids Math Teacher YouTube channel it’s grown from about 50 subscribers to over 350! It seems like my most watched video is about 100 charts, but I do have some other good ones, like this one with shoes… What did you think? Do you think I should pursue doing more ..read more

Pretty much everyone knows what the stock market is—a place to buy and sell shares of a company that reduces individual risk. But how many people do you know can tell you the ins and outs of how these stocks are bought and sold, what companies have what shares, and how to make a smart investment that will bring a nice reward? Not that many. Which is why it’s important to start teaching these difficult concepts early enough that children grow up to be both smart with their money and smart investors. It can be hard to believe that one day, your little one will be choosing what shares in what com ..read more

Different types of education can be better for certain children and certain subjects, and one factor that has a big influence on your child’s learning is whether the teaching format is one-on-one or in the context of a group.

Fun new game I created with teachers in mind!
Kids Math Teacher

Hello, I wanted to let you know that I created a fun game that helps kids and can be used up through college or any class setting… It’s called A Taste of… (your students) and gets them to think about things they personally like as well as what they like about you–the teacher. Then they go around the room looking for other individuals who have the same answers as them. You can congratulate a winner for having the most similar things, but sometimes you want to also congratulate the person with the least names, since it probably means that they put very unique answers on their sheet. Here is the ..read more

I was active in doing my YouTube channel last year and things were going well, then the summer happened with it’s choas with five kids and adventures so I didn’t film.  Then I got sick due to lack of sleep and trying to do too much.

But we are nearing the end and I have hopes to return to blogging, youtubing, and getting in some ‘me’ time. My Kickstarter last year was unsuccessful so I didn’t get to bring Trouble with Monkey’s into the wo ..read more
