      Why It Works

      The learning connection

      Engaging in budgeting for a real-world project uses embodied cognition, as children physically make choices about spending. They learn to visualize their decisions, enhancing their decision-making and numerical skills while experiencing the consequences of their financial planning.

      1. Decide on a baked good to make (e.g., cake or cookies). 2. Write down a list of required ingredients and their prices from local stores (like ₹30 for flour, ₹20 for sugar). 3. Set a maximum budget (e.g., ₹100) and calculate if your chosen ingredients fit within it. 4. Select ingredients while staying within your budget, adjusting as needed. 5. Bake the treat together, keeping track of any extra costs like cooking gas. 6. Present and taste your creation with family — did you stick to your budget?
