Money Money Money

Our current focus in Math is looking at money! Our goal is to add money amounts to 100 cents! Today we learned that 100 cents is the same thing as $1.00. We also learned how to count by 25's! Counting by 25 looks like this: 25, 50, 75, 100! 

We are getting more familiar with using different coins to represent various money amounts. We learned that if we use quarters (25 cents) we can add money amounts using less coins. This allows us to use less coins when adding. 
In class today, we played a few different math money games. We had to work together to find out how to add money amounts and how to show money amounts in different ways. Learning how to count by 25's makes adding money much quicker! Ask your child about the strategies we learned today.
