They range from sites with games to help young children learn to count coins to sites about financial planning, saving, earning and investing for college and beyond.  A few websites also help to teach students about the history of money.

Visit the website: Change Maker
Free
Grade Level Elementary (K-5)

From site: Get as much money in your piggy bank as possible, by figuring out the correct change.

Figure out how many of each bill or coin that you expect to get back when you pay for something. For example, if something costs $3.75 and you pay with a five dollar bill, you would expect back one quarter and one dollar bill.

If you get the answer correct, the amount of change is added to your piggy bank. If you get the answer wrong, the correct amount of change is subtracted from your piggy bank. The more money you get in your piggy bank, the harder the questions will get.
