This week we will start looking at Canadian coins and their values. Most students have some experience playing with money or handling it, but not many are aware of the values of each coin. We have used the 100s chart and the base 10 model since September, so counting in groups of 10 and 5 should be something students are comfortable doing. If you have some change around the house, spread it out on a table and sort it into similar groups. Review how much each coin is worth and count by 5s and 10s with nickels and dimes. Quarters tend to pose more problems for younger children, so practice counting by 25s and making $1.00 in change. Merci!
