    Needs or wants? That is the question!

    Do you need it, or do you want it? That’s an important question to ask before buying anything. This activity is designed to teach kids how to prioritize their needs and wants, and how to make informed choices when shopping.

    Teaching math using money

    From skip counting to making change, working with money is a great way for students to practice math skills.

Notice of early closure
The Museum will be closed Tuesday, June 27 and Wednesday, June 28 for maintenance.
