Yard Sale Math




After the Mud Flat Yard Sale was over, the kids still had some items left. They decided to try and sell them in an online yardsale.


Task 1: Read the post before yours and determine if the shopper correctly identified two different ways to make the amount of money that he/she needed. Respond to the post, telling him/her if they were correct. If there was a mistake, explain what he/she did wrong.


Task 2: Choose one item you would like to buy and list two different ways to make that amount of money. Post your response.

I would like to buy the book for $0.99. I could make that amount using 9 dimes and 9 pennies.
Another way I could make 99 cents is to use 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 4 pennies.

Andrew said...

Caroline, you made 99 cents correctly.
I would like to buy the cup for $1.34. I could make that amount using 1 dollar, 1 quarter, 1 nickel, and 4 pennies.
I could also make it using 1 dollar, 3 dimes, and 4 pennies.
