Yesterday the kids got the chance to use pennies and nickels to buy various things ranging in price from a penny to six cents. Each student was given 7 cents and allowed to purchase whatever they wanted. The purpose of the lesson was to make sure what we have been learning about money exchange to be as authentic as possible. After "shopping" for their items they checked out with me and we added up the price to make sure they had enough money to buy what they had picked out. It was a good learning experience to see how we exchanged nickels for pennies and to see that items would cost them different amounts.
