We are learning about money this week in math! Our focus in grade two is on coins and adding to 1$. We observed and named all Canadian coins yesterday. Today, children practiced counting nickels.

If you have some coins at home, it would be great for the students to look at real coins and name their value. If you have more than one nickel, they can count some nickels tonight! Next week, will be adding different coins together (for example: 25cents + 10 cents + 10 cents). Playing store is a great way to learn about using money to buy things and budgeting as well!
