We still have a lot of students who still need to recognize coins. In order to be ready for second grade, each student will need to recognize the coin name, the value and be able to add coin values together. Begin with simple combinations and get more complex when going to the store in order to reinforce what we are working on here at school. One thing that would be great to do over the weekend is to give your child $5.00 ( or even a $1.00) and let your child figure out how many things can be purchased with the amount. The more advanced your child is, the more difficult combinations you can do with your child. Include the fifty cent piece with your study at home.
We are counting by 5's, 10's and 25's. We add pennies to different amounts as well as nickels and dimes to different numbers. It's often hard for first graders to add one to 35 or even 49. Have fun!
