Money Why Students Will Love This Lesson

Students will find the Money lesson exciting and relevant as it connects math to real-life situations. By working with money, they will engage in practical activities that make learning enjoyable. The mental warm-up, where they determine the possible amounts Anya could have with two identical coins, sparks curiosity and sets the stage for the lesson. As they explore finding totals and checking calculations, students will appreciate the hands-on approach of selecting items from a café menu.
