Comparing Numbers - Money - 1st and 2nd grades
This packet includes 3 worksheets that help students practice comparing two amounts using coins and bills. I have made rigorous questions that show that having more coins does not always mean you have more money. Also, that there are ways to make the same amount with a mixture of coins and bills.
The last worksheet in the packet has the students write an amount that is in the middle of two amounts. Then, the students will find the difference between the two original amounts.

Teaching style
Our classroom, the students and mine, is a learner centered area where we focus on becoming sound problem solvers thorough the use of higher level questions, activities, and also by having growth mindsets. We may not know the answer or "stink at reading", but we just do not know the answer YET and stinking at reading is a temporary, easy fix with a positive growth mindset.

Additional biographical information
Being a teacher has its definite perks, such as giving us this invitation to join our students on their journey through understanding. I could not imagine holding another position, as my career, that would carry as much meaning. I am a mom to a kind and creative 11 year old person. :) I love working with and educating kiddos and learning from them too!
