Measurment with Ms. Howle's Math Group

Because Ms. Howle was absent, Mrs Clifton taught Ms. Howls's group how to play a game called "Race to a Dollar!"

How to Play:
You play by rolling a die. The amount shows you the amount of money you collect on each turn. As you roll, you collect coins that represent the face value on the die. As you collect, you trade in for different coins. For example: Six pennies = 1 penny and 1 nickel. You continue play until a player reaches one hundred cents; equaling a dollar.

What Fun We Had!

*This game helps with coin recognition, counting money, and number sense.

After the game, students came together to share what strategies they learned from this game. Here's some things shared from our discussion.

"One hundred pennies equal a dollar."

"Ten dimes equal a dollar."

" It helped me count by fives..."

"and tens..."

Play at home to see what other discoveries your child can make from learning about money and counting.
