Determining the value of mixed coins:

What is the strategy?What is a preskill for counting unlike

coins?How is this skill taught?

Counting Change Making equivalent change Verifying change

Counting Change Making equivalent change, Format 16.1

1. Identify value of larger coin and determine the number of smaller coins (all of same value) are equivalent

2. Count a set of different coins to see if they equal a value stated

Counting Change Verifying Change, Format 16.2What is the general strategy?What examples should be used initially?

Later?

Decimal Notation When? Must one wait until

comprehensive instruction in decimals?

Decimal NotationFormat 16.3: Reading and writing

decimals in moneyWhat examples should be included?

What can be introduced after students have mastered reading and writing money?

MEASUREMENT

Measurement What are the two basic measurement

systems? What problems do the two systems

cause lower performing students?—What can we do to help avoid this problem?

Measurement

Introducing the concept Primary grades Intermediate grades

Measurement Introducing the concept: Demonstrate using concrete objects. How might you introduce length? Why? How might weight and capacity be

introduced?
