Description
This PBS Kids lesson gives students experience in counting, exchanging, and comparing money. Students begin the lesson by finding all of the possible combinations of coins that can be used to equal a specified amount of money. They then compare two amounts of money and use number sense skills and problem solving strategies to move coins from one group to another so that both groups are equal in value. Then they play a money exchange game. Finally, the students are immersed in an economics activity as they shop in the teacher-made puppet supply store where they are given one dollar to buy items to make a paper bag puppet. Less
