⭐️ Essential Key Concept ⭐️
B2.1 use the properties of operations, and the relationships between operations, to solve problems involving whole numbers and decimal numbers, including those requiring more than one operation, and check calculations (limited to addition and subtraction)
B2.4 represent and solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of whole numbers that add up to no more than 100 000, and of decimal numbers up to hundredths, using appropriate tools, strategies, and algorithms
F1 demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions
F1.2 estimate and calculate the cost of transactions involving multiple items priced in dollars and cents, including sales tax, using various strategies

During this topic, pay attention to the students' ability to maintain positive motivation and perseverance.
Do students have strategies when they are stuck? (e.g. attempt or test out different approaches, use resources in the room, ask for help from a friend)
Are students open to learning from mistakes?
Do students recognize what is working well for them, and what might need to be changed?
