This Play Checkbook set would be terrific for a math lesson with allowance...and what a great reason to practice writing numbers!
If your students want to say and write really big numbers, check out this fun activity at Math Cats. Kids can enter really BIG NUMBERS, say the number out loud, and then see the number written out in an effort to check their work. Check out this example from E is for Explore! :)
What a wonderful idea:) I love this!

You're welcome, Courtney. If you use checkbooks, post so I can see what you do! :)
DeleteThe sight of big numbers scares a lot of children and they get the perception that tackling them or dealing with them in general is a very tough task. That's why most will wonder what's the need to learn writing and understanding big numbers. I like the explanation given here telling them that it's to enable them be able to write checkbooks with big numbers.
