This Program help students to learn money concepts and solidify their understanding of other topics by providing activities where students make connections between them. For instance, link the value of a dollar bill as 100 cents to the concept of 100 and counting within 1000. Use play money - nickels, dimes, and dollar bills to skip count by 5s, 10s, and 100s. Reinforce place value concepts with the values of dollar bills, dimes, and pennies. Students use the context of money to find sums and differences less than or equal to 100 using the numbers 0 to 100. They add and subtract to solve one- and two-step word problems involving money situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions. Students use drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. The dollar sign, $, is used for labeling whole-dollar amounts without decimals, such as $29. Students need to learn the relationships between the values of a penny, nickel, dime, quarter and dollar bill.
