Class Experience

In this six lesson class students will learn or review counting and making change, how monetary systems developed from barter, to silver and gold, to coins and our current monetary systems. The fun rhymes in the story will be used to encourage discussion. By te end of the course students will be more proficient in counting change and will have an appreciation for how monetary systems have evolved throughout our human history.  By combining the math and the history students will approach this math skill in a fun and novel way. 
Day 1- Introduce the book and begin the story pages 1 and 2 . Talk about the value of American coins 1 cent (penny) 5 cents (nickel) etc.... and do some simple addition and subtraction of coins to assess where each child's understanding is in relation to this topic.
