Learning the value of a dollar is a skill that should start early in life. This issue makes “sense” of dollars and cents by providing a wealth of activities to practice calculating and problem solving with money. Help three children add up their cash for school supplies—then pool the funds and figure the grand total. Use the newspaper to cash in on headlines by assigning a dollar amount to each letter of the alphabet—then add up the ads for some additional practice. Learn which discount—coupon or percent off—is a better deal.
In this issue students will:
- add dollars and cents
- problem solve using money
- compare value
- complete a close activity with parts of speech
- write about their favorite charity would spend $500
