Step 1: Lesson Standards & Learning Goals
In this standard, students solve word problems involving either dollars or cents. Students are not expected to solve problems that involve both dollars and cents and are not expected to use decimals.
In second grade students are expected to solve word problems where they find multiple ways to make a collection of coins that has a specific value. This extends place value work from Grade 1 and earlier in the year in Grade 2. For example, the number (25) can be represented different ways (2 tens and 5 ones, 1 ten and 15 ones, or 25 ones) and still remain the same amount (25). In this standard, students should apply this understanding in the context of money. For example, 25 cents can look like a quarter, two dimes and a nickel, one dime and 3 nickels, and it can look like 25 pennies. In all those cases the value of the coins are 25 cents.

Exploration or Experience
Grocery Store Math: Set up a classroom grocery store with various items and price tags. Provide students with a shopping list and a budget (e.g., $5). Students can practice adding up the prices of items they "purchase" and subtracting from their budget to ensure they stay within their allotted money.
Exploration or Experience
Have students explore different ways to make 25¢.
Game
Money Bingo: Make bingo cards with different amounts of money (e.g., $0.25, $0.50, $1.00) written on them. Call out word problems or show picture cards representing money amounts, and students mark the corresponding amounts on their bingo cards. The first student to get a line or blackout wins.
