Your children are now back in the classroom, and
perhaps getting some kind of "new math" homework
that you can't help them with. But there are some
kinds of old-fashioned math lessons you can teach
your kids, that they may not get in school, such as
how to balance a checkbook, or the power of compound
interest. Here are some Web resources that can help
you teach your kids some lessons with life-long
personal finance implications:

www.webmath.com has calculators to teach kids about
compound interest and saving for retirement

www.jumpstart.org/mdb/jssearch.cfm has links to
grade-appropriate personal finance educational
materials

www.usmint.gov/kids/flashIndex.cfm has lesson plans
that use coins to teach history, math and personal
finance.
