Money Scoot!

In Math, we have been focusing a lot on money- recognizing coins & making amounts. Students are learning how to count coins and make the transition from quarters (25) to dimes (10) to nickels (5) to pennies (1) when counting a group of coins. 

One game that the students enjoyed was called Money Scoot. They were given a secret amount that they had to first create at their desks. Once they did this, we began the game. I set a time for 1 minute. Students had to 'scoot' from desk to desk and count the value that another student made on their desk. They filled in that amount in a box provided. They had a lot of fun!
