1st graders were given a magnifying glass and asked to compare and contrast dimes, nickels, pennies and quarters. They played games such as “Race to a Quarter” and “The Matching Game” which gave them practice trading coins (5 pennies for 1 nickel, 2 nickels for 1 dime and so on.) In Matching Game they became quite adept at selecting a coin only be feel from the inside of a sock! Independently on their contracts they completed a work job called “Scoops of Coins.” For their final assessment students were asked to figure out how many different ways you can make 25 cents.
