We've been hitting the coins hard for the past week or so in math.
Lots of learning, lots of confusion, and lots of fun thrown in the mix.
Why are coins so darn tricky for little ones?
I guess because size order doesn't match the worth?
Skip counting by 25's gets 'em every.dang.time.
BrainPop and YouTube have been a blessing for this unit.
Nothing like a silly robot and corny catchy song or two to help them get their coins straight.
Here's a little of what we've been up to {picture style}...

Money is hard for 2nd graders, especially when now a days everything is mostly bought on by a card! You did a nice job of integrating many different learning avenues!
