We had a Dairy Presentation

We planned a meal using foods from each of the food groups.

Money, Money, Money

We are learning about money in mathematics.

Grade one students are expected to:

– identify and describe various coins (i.e., penny, nickel, dime, quarter, $1 coin, $2 coin), using coin manipulatives or drawings, and state their value (e.g., the value of a penny is one cent; the value of a toonie is two dollars);
– represent money amounts to 20¢, through investigation using coin manipulatives;
– add and subtract money amounts to 10¢, using coin manipulatives and drawings.


Grade two students are expected to:

– estimate, count, and represent (using the ¢ symbol) the value of a collection of coins with a maximum value of one dollar.
– add and subtract money amounts to 100¢, using a variety of tools (e.g., concrete materials, drawings) and strategies (e.g., counting on, estimating, representing using symbols).
