Money Holder

$5.00

Engineering / Math

Grade Lvl:K-3

Engage students in practical engineering and real-world math as they design a money holder that can carry the greatest amount of money possible. In this challenge, learners brainstorm and build durable holders that separate bills and coins while still being easy to carry and use. As they fill their designs with play bills and coins, students calculate the total value their holder can transport, naturally integrating addition, regrouping, and money skills. The interactive testing and personal connection to “earning” and carrying money make this lesson a student favorite and a powerful blend of math, design, and problem-solving.

How can we create a way to hold the most money?
