Did you know people have been using manipulatives to solve math problems since ANCIENT times? It’s true!

Studies show that mathematical achievement increases when manipulatives are put to good use.

This week students are investigating money! Some things we have done with coins:

💰 Sort coins into different piles by creating your own rule

💰 Show a given amount in multiple ways

💰 Pretend to make purchases and change

💰 Compare money

💰 Open play (always the first thing!)

Do you use coins in your class? Let us know how you use play coins to help students learn!
