so this is video for unit for which starts actually with money I no have I sent home I newsletter and it says unit 4 two-digit subtraction but we do start with money and it does relate it comes back but starting with money please just have coins out for kids home these are play coins but I'm on a lot of kids collect coins or I just have a ton of my purse get a jar or something for them or even just shuttle pocket like a pocket purse that can have and pull this out and just play with the money please make sure that they know the difference boy names and the value for each one this is probably the most important thing you need to do with them because I have kids all the time I think the two biggest ones that they get mixed up or the quarter in the nickel and something that was talking to my neighbor realize last year is at the nickel has a smooth edge and the quarter if you look on the sides has ridges so if that's the way that helps your kid distinguish between the quarter and the nickel use that but of course the quarters $0.25 then he's got the nickel which is $0.05 the kind of easier ones for my kids at least what I've noticed the penny is pretty obvious it's $0.01 and it's different colors that kind of sets it apart of these two are kind of similar in size and I know that this is the biggest value and it's the biggest coin that house my kids sometimes too but then I don't want to confuse them because if you attach coin size to their value than that one would be the smallest so you got to be careful there if it helps them great but it confuses them and of course it's not about the size it's about the value of the coin and that's really important when we're adding up the coins to like if I have to make change for a quarter and I want to use nickels to make the exchange while I would need five nickels to trade out for a quarter and I have to tell the kids it's not about how many I have it's about the value of how much I have so I know I have five nickels how can I trade for one coin and that's equal well it's because they're equal in value that quarter is $0.25 and when I have five nickels that also is worth 20 $0.05 so we use the words worth and value a lot for coins and it's not necessarily the amount or number that you have another cast to add coins together and tell you how much their worth altogether so on the way see you can see when I have an add up the coins what I like to do is put them from biggest to smallest not by size by value so you can see that I started with my quarters did it's my dimes even though they're the smallest coin they're still next to the quarter they be the next highest value then I've got my nickel and then my pennies so that's why it's so important that they understand value and not necessarily size of coins so I was going to add these up if I have one quarter I have $0.25 but then as soon get two quarters I now have $0.50 and then I go and I jump I say stop or I'm done adding my quarters now adding tens now it becomes a skip counting by tens which is also really important in this unit I know a lot of the classes were doing skip counting books a practice with your kids at home I know we do in our classroom you practice skip counting by fives by tens even by 25 and you go 25 that's a little difficult white elm add still little break from that for just a second that once you know the main pattern 25 50 75 100 if you can kind of submit that those four numbers and their brain then it just becomes okay then it starts over again 125 150-175 200 and it starts over again 225-250 275 and then 300 and so it will help you too continue going on in the pattern so we have $0.25 and we had another quarter we get $0.50 and then if I add one more dime that would give me 60 men's adding tens at another 10 and that would make $0.70 then if I add a 5 so I stopped and I realize I'm adding a nickel set $0.75 if I'm at 75 and then if I add ones that would be $0.76 one more Penny and that $0.77 which makes a grand total of $0.77 so you can see it's just important to know the patterns of skip counting to stop can get to the end of one of the coins and you realize you're going into the next coin and realize I'm not adding tens anymore not I'm adding fives fives anymore now I'm adding ones can I know that's tricky for a lot of kids to but just so you can see kind of how I set it up from greatest value to smell spell you that seems to organize and they're counting a lot better
