Why ClassCents for Common Core Standards?
Our platform is designed specifically to support educators in meeting Common Core expectations.
Money Math, All Year
Common Core asks for money word problems, decimal operations, and real-world data. A classroom economy supplies all three continuously — students earn, spend, and save in dollars and cents.
Three Activities per Standard
Each standard comes with ready-to-run classroom activities built around your class jobs, reward store, savings goals, and transaction history.
Math on Money They Own
Word problems, graphs, and equations all draw on students' real balances and transactions — numbers they care about, with the app as the answer key.
An Honest Scope
We focus where a classroom economy genuinely fits Common Core: operations, money and measurement, expressions, and statistics. No stretched claims about other subjects.
