We have been learning how to identify coins and bills and count their amounts this week. Next week we'll be learning how to compare amounts, make change, and apply concepts to real world problems. Students also completed the CoGAT test this week, which is simply an assessment for us to see how they problem solve.
Students may work through this hyperdoc at home for coins and bills practice!
