life skills or consumer math program or book that I can use?

My 17 year old is learning at a 6th grade level and I want to start teaching her everyday life skills.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I often photocopy old (pre-1955) books that I collect from used bookstores and online through Amazon.com zshops.
These older programs included a lot of consumer math and everyday math as a simple fact of life, part of a structured program. The old Grade 6-7-8 books will have chapters on money and shopping, percentages applied to discount shopping and banking and interest, writing cheques, budgeting, reading charts and tables, etc.
