This week we began our exploration of money. Students in first grade traditionally deal in money amounts made with pennies, nickels, and dimes, but we went a step farther and included quarters. We started by examining strategies for counting money. Next we participated in a set of stations where we practiced counting money and displaying a monetary amount (in more than one way) using various coin combinations. Stations included:
