DOTed Materials by Heather Rice Objective: adding money, counting money Description: Students will use this problem solving story to add amount of change together and find different ways to create the amount of money. Great for practicing beginning money skills! Special Features! This problem solving format is a great way to assist students in their ability to identify important information, choose a strategy to solve the problem and explain their thinking.

Students use clues to find the missing digits in a given number. This is a great way to informally assess students' ability to apply number sense. After purchasing and downloading the document, it would be great to extend this activity using different number clues. Extension: Have students come up with clues.

This great problem solving practice for multiplying two digit by two digit whole numbers. Students also get EXCELLENT practice going through the steps of breaking apart a problem, not just pulling out the numbers. This KWL chart helps students figure out what they KNOW, what they WANT to know (restating the questions) and communicating what they found out in word form. LOVE!
