Most certainly. You need to know basic stuff just to avoid getting ripped off when you buy something. You could be getting cheated all the time by people short changing you. At the next level, you can figure out which is a better deal when buying stuff. What is a better deal, 25 cents each or 5 for a dollar? Later in life you will need to decide how to finance large purchases like cars and houses. You should also know how to avoid getting pounded by credit card fees and such. Yes, learn your math, even if it is just the basics.
