M is for Money

Money


Math

United States Coins Sequencing Cards – Students will decorate and cut out their cards and then pair up with a partner and work together to put the cards in order of value.

Counting Coins Activity Book – Students will learn the value of the coins as well as how to tally up total values in order to get the sum of various coins.

Open Shop – We will have a shop set up in class with a cash register and all. Students will use real coins to purchase items in the shop by figuring out how to create the correct amount of money with they coins they have. When we are all finish students will get to keep the items that they bought.


Social Studies

Abraham Lincoln’s log cabin – Who is on the penny? That’s right, Abe Lincoln. We will be making a log cabin with a picture of Abe in the window via penny.

Language Arts

Carl Goes Shopping by Alexandra Day

Arthur's Pet Business by Marc Brown

A Quarter From The Tooth Fairy by Caren Holtzman

Science

Vinegar Pennies – There are so many old and ugly pennies, but we want to make them shinny like new. We will soak our pennies in vinegar, soda, and water to see which one is the best cleaning agent. Before we get started we will make a graph of predictions for the best cleaning agent.

Art

United States Coins Coloring Sheet – Students will color a page for each coin as we discuss the coins value.
