your child is ready to work independently, have them count and write the
answers for questions #5-7
*if
your child needs more help, then do questions #5-7 together
(I
always remind them to pause when they come to a different type of coin so their
brain can switch from counting by 10s to counting on by 1s)
*Problem
solving question #8-read word problem
(Explain
that this problem has more than one step to find the answer.)
*step
1-figure out how many ¢ Lily has (draw pictures, use real coins, or count on
with a list of numbers) (Lily has 23¢.)
*step
2-now you have to figure out what stamp Lily CAN’T buy. (Explain that if the
stamp is 23¢ or less, Lily CAN buy it. So we have to look for a stamp that is
greater than 23¢.) (answer-the purple one for 24¢)
*critical
thinking question #9 which change purse is between 40¢ and 50¢
*step
1-use real coins or draw pictures of the coins (when I draw pictures of coins I
just do a circle with and amount on it) for each change purse
*step
2-count how much is in each change purse and write the number of ¢ underneath
it
*step3-now
figure out which change purse has between 40¢ and 50¢
