US coins, counting up, making a dollar and giving change. 7 games. See all counting money games →
- Coin CounterGrades 1–2Tap coins and bills into the tray until they add up to exactly the price on the tag — starting with easy nickel amounts and working up to dollars and cents.
- Coin Combo CoveGrades 1–3Drop coins in the chest to hit the exact amount — the plain way, the fewest-coins way, or a whole new way.
- Money MarketGrades 1–3Pay the market stall exactly — fill your coin purse with pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to match the price.
Discounts & Percent
Sale prices, amount saved, percent change and unit price. 7 games. See all discounts & percent games →
- Discount DepotGrades 5–6Clearance sale! Work out the sale price, the amount you save, and even the original price from the sticker.
- Percent ShopGrades 5–6Slice the price bar — every 10% slice shows its dollars. Knock slices off for discounts, stack them on for tax.
- Percent Change PortGrades 5–6A cargo dock where prices rise and fall — each 10% is one crate of the base price, so add or remove crates and set the new amount.
Tip, Tax & Interest
Tips, sales tax as a percent of price, and interest basics. 3 games. See all tip, tax & interest games →
- Tip & Tax TillGrades 5–6Stack 10% and 1% chunks of a bill to build a tip or sales tax and read the new total off the money scale.
- Multiplier ChainGrades 7–8Tap multiplier chips onto a price bar — 20% off then 8% tax is ×0.8 ×1.08 — dial the single percent a chain equals, and chain ÷ chips to walk a final price back to the original.
- Interest IslandGrade 7Dial the rate and the years and watch a principal bar grow one yearly interest block at a time to the target line, extend or cut a price bar by a markup or markdown percent, and set the percent error of an estimate against the actual bar.
Credit Cards & Paychecks
How credit card interest builds up, and how gross pay becomes take-home pay. 4 games. See all credit cards & paychecks games →
- Credit Card ClimbGrades 6–8Build every number on a credit card statement: turn the APR into a monthly rate, set the month's interest on a 1%-block ruler, roll the balance forward, drag a payment to see how little of the minimum reaches the balance, and step months until the card is paid off.
- Paycheck PlannerGrades 6–8Drag the paycheck bar to build gross pay from hours, overtime or salary, cut out Social Security, Medicare and income-tax slices to the cent, keep the take-home pay, then work backward from a take-home goal to the hours or gross.
- Interest IslandGrade 7Dial the rate and the years and watch a principal bar grow one yearly interest block at a time to the target line, extend or cut a price bar by a markup or markdown percent, and set the percent error of an estimate against the actual bar.
Budgeting & Saving
Plan a budget, save for a goal and choose the best buy. 4 games. See all budgeting & saving games →
- Budget BossGrades 3–5Checkout rush! Groceries roll toward the gate — BUY what fits your wallet, SKIP what doesn't. Over-spend and the card declines. Land the budget to level up!
- Savings Goal SummitGrades 3–5Save the same amount every week and climb the money mountain to the goal flag.
- Piggy PlanGrades 2–4Plan your savings: work out the total after a few weeks, how many weeks to reach a goal, or how much to save each week.
Common Questions
What money skills should kids learn in each grade?
Grades 1 and 2 learn coin names, values and counting coins. Grades 2 to 4 make change and read prices. Grades 3 to 5 build simple budgets and savings goals. Grades 5 to 8 apply percents to discounts, sales tax, tips and interest.
How do I teach money at home?
Use real situations. Let your child pay at a store and count the change, compare two prices, or save toward something they want. Short everyday practice plus a few game rounds is more effective than long lessons.
Are money math games as good as real coins?
They do different jobs. Real coins give touch and size, while games give instant feedback and many repetitions. Using both works best.
Are these money games free?
Yes. Every game is free with no ads, no in-app purchases and no sign-up, and works on phones, tablets and computers.
