Reading prices at the duka

Know what things cost before you pay

Level 1: Money basics · from age 6 · 2 minutes · 3 Kesho Stars

The story

Njeri goes to the duka with Dad. There’s bread, milk, mandazi and soda on the shelf. Each one has a price.

The big idea

A price tells you how much money you give to buy something. In Kenya, prices are in shillings, written KES or Ksh.

Ask at home

At the next shop, ask your child to find the price of two things and say which one costs more.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
