Math and Money

show me the money!
This month Math is all about the money! Younger students will be given the experience to exchange a dollar for their choice of treat. For those seasoned shoppers we will be working on "A dollar more". Dollar amounts will be focused on values of $1.00 to $5.00. This strategy teaches students that if they want to buy something that costs $1.50, they need to give a 'dollar more' or 2 dollars.
I have found that the students enjoy the cash register almost as much as they enjoy the treat.
