Empowering Children with Financial Literacy:
MAKE SENSE OF PENCE
At Make Sense of Pence, we believe financial literacy is a fundamental life skill that should be accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for children. In today’s fast-paced, digital world, it’s more important than ever for young learners to understand how money works—from traditional forms like cash to modern digital payments.
The Problem: A Gap in Early Financial Education
Research shows that children start forming financial habits as early as 6 or 7 years old. However, financial literacy is often overlooked in schools, leaving young people without the skills they need to make informed decisions about earning, saving, and spending. As the world shifts towards a cashless society, it’s crucial that we teach children the value of money, how to manage it, and how to make wise financial choices.
Our Solution: Introducing Make Sense of Pence
Make Sense of Pence bridges the gap by providing an engaging, hands-on approach to financial education.

We offer comprehensive resources tailored for both teachers and parents, including interactive workshops, classroom materials, and downloadable content. Our resources make it easy for schools to integrate financial literacy into their lesson plans without extra burden
