Money is foundational to modern economies, facilitating transactions and measuring value. Understanding the concept of money helps individuals comprehend its role in everyday life and financial systems. In real-world applications, money is used to price goods, pay for services, and store value. In math education, money introduces students to basic arithmetic, currency conversion, and economic principles. A teacher might explain, "Money is what we use to buy things and pay for services, making it easier to trade than bartering."
