Make up simple math problems using prices on goods or newspaper advertisements.

Discuss why seasonal products, such as fresh fruits or vegetables, are cheaper during the summertime. What other factors affect the price?

Look though the grocery ads in the newspaper together. Have your child cut out the coupons.

Dictate the shopping list to your child. Have he or she write it down.
