Today in math we worked on making different combinations of coins for a given value - for example, how many different ways can you make 15 cents? The students really enjoyed the learning as we explored how different coins can be traded for other coins and that coins can be broken down into smaller coin units! We began the lesson with reading the story "A dollar for penny" and adding up Penny's total - which was a dollar or one hundred cents! We then explored using coin manipulatives and then the students were to tackle three different values - they did an amazing job!
Tomorrow we will have fun exploring more money as we do problem solving at the Falcon Feast :)
