Last weekend at my favorite local coffee shop, I noticed that the kid in front of me in line paid with Square. I guess I can relate. Kind of. Not really. When I was their age, I was digging in my pocket hoping for a few more pennies so that I would have enough money to pay for my Slurpee. If only Square was part of CCSS…
Moving on. I LOVE when we work on coins! Kids like to get their recently sanitized hands on all that play money and you can see the dollar signs in their eyes! However, each year I'm always amazed at how many kiddos don't already know which coin is which. Maybe they are all using Square. Right. I said I was moving on.
I put together some resources for my kiddos that match our class anchor charts and a foldable where they had to cut & paste the information into the correct spot. I decided to use the foldable to check for understanding of coin names and values. Want a copy for free? Leave me a comment with one of your favorite teacher tips for your coin unit and I'll email you this product for FREE….zero pennies! Don't forget to include your email address! Take a peek! I also included half page for those of us using interactive math journals!
