Ten Trends that are changing in education.
Preparing kids for the future - white's will not be the majority, global citizenship, building social/intellectual capital. Students NEED to be ready to live and work in a highly diverse nation and world!
Money Word extension - this is similar to the other one I posted, only in this game, students make up words and determine their money value. Extension.
Counting Money - up to $4. I like this organizer because it includes dollars and cents to be added up together. PA Standard: Students should be able to count a given amount of change up to $5.
Money Words - each letter in the alphabet is given a monetary amount. Example a = a quarter. Words are listed and the students must find the value of that word according to the key. I used this with my higher students in my low math class as an enrichment activity while others mastered the skill.
I have, Who Has? Students are each given a card with an amount of money displayed. Students count the money on their card and then a kind of "around the world" is played. I like to time my students (the first time is painful) - students keep the same cards and play again. I've used this game in many different ways (multiplication, base-10 blocks, etc)
