We are starting to investigate adding and subtracting money. Most students know the money coins and bills and are are able to add simple amounts in their heads. They are now figuring out how much change they will receive from a given amount and how much more they need to reach an amount. They are using manipulatives (play money), apps, traditional addition and subtraction, and the strategy of counting on to figure out solutions. When you are out shopping with your child, it is helpful to have them determine how much an item costs and how much change they will receive.
