Show me the money!

Imagine the perfect little packet to introduce coins... here it is! :) Includes a cute cover, a super catchy song about coins and their values (you can't help but smile when you sing it!), and of course a page dedicated to each specific coin (penny, nickel, dime, quarter). Students see a picture of the coin, fill in the value, name the President on the coin, practice counting the coins, and have some space to make some crayon rubbings of the actual coin.

I like to print these and have them stapled into little 6 page books (or 3 pages if you copy 2-sided) for each student. You could certainly use the pages as stand alone printables though, too.

It's also fun to get out magnifying glasses and let kids really study the coins as we're filling out the book together. They'll love it! Thanks for stopping by!

Some Favorite Math Apps for the iPad!

I thought it'd be fun to share some of my fave math apps for PK-1!  These are tried and true ones I have used with my preschooler and 1st grader at home as well as my Kindergarten school kids.  I tried to talk as fast as I could and I got to 4 apps in 5 minutes (and then also quick just named a few others I like).  So hopefully this video clip will show you something that might catch your eye and be helpful to parents and teachers or anyone out there who knows a little one who'd like to use the iPad to work with numbers!  I have heaps of other apps I recommend for other subjects or skills and I'll try to post some of those another day!  Have fun!

ps... just fyi, I'm not associated with any of these apps or creators in any way... just trying to spread the word about what I think are good, quality, beautiful apps!
