Help Mrs. Wright

When money talks, students learn! Children love to learn math concepts through the use of money. With this grant, I am going to set up a "store" math learning center where first grade students can "purchase" goods from catalogs and food items from menus. They will use the pretend money and cash register to identify coins and add and subtract money to find totals and make change. My first graders love to go to the store with their families, so they will truly enjoy learning through this realistic educational activity. This proposal includes a talking, interactive, teaching cash register. With this cash register, students will learn to identify coins, add and subtract money, and use place value. It also includes a deluxe teaching kit that contains money stamps, overhead coins and dollars, and money centered games. With this grant, these children will learn concepts that will last a lifetime.
