Today Anna and Quinn continue their money unit using the 3rd grade text. Today's lesson 1-7 focused on adding coins as well as 1 and 5 dollar bills. Anna and Quinn did very well with today's lesson. We practiced writing amounts larger than a dollar in dollar form. For example, 134 cents is the same as $1.34. Anna and Quinn were both able to add amounts without physically adding them with coins. For example, they were able to count 15 cents for 3 nickels without have 3 nickels in their hands. Today they worked on the lesson 1-7 guided practice worksheet. We will continue this lesson again tomorrow.
