With Business Basics, kids don’t just read about business. They count money, make budgets, serve customers, solve problems, and plan a giving project of their own.

Big Ideas Start Early.
Give your 3rd grader a hands-on course that teaches real money skills in a way that actually sticks. Business Basics Grade 3 helps kids learn how the world works through stories, activities, and real-world practice, from budgeting and saving to running a business, serving customers, and giving back.
Kids follow Ethan and Emily through lemonade stands, customer challenges, money choices, and giving projects, making business feel like an adventure instead of another worksheet.
Instead of long, dense lessons, Business Basics uses stories, hands-on activities, and real-world examples to help money and business skills feel practical, memorable, and easy to understand.
