Teaching the Lesson
Key Activities
Children use estimation to identify two grocery items that could be bought for $2.00. They
review decimal notation for dollars-and-cents amounts and identify various names for dollars,
dimes, and pennies. They investigate pennies and dimes as fractional parts of a dollar.
Key Concepts and Skills
• Read and write money amounts in dollars-and-cents notation.
[Number and Numeration Goal 2]
• Find fractional parts of $1.00.
[Number and Numeration Goal 3]
• Estimate the total cost.
[Operations and Computation Goal 3]
• Match equivalent monetary names.

You may want to display an overhead transparency of the Good
Buys Poster. Ask children to share their answers and tell how
they know that $2.00 would be enough to buy both items. Some
will have found exact answers and some will have estimated.
Briefly discuss why estimation is appropriate, but don’t try to
teach any particular method. (In Lesson 10-5, children will learn
to estimate by rounding to the nearest 10¢.) Continue by asking
children whether $2.00 is enough for the following:
Unit 10 Decimals and Place Value
If children ask about sales tax, explain that they should pretend
there is none. Tell children that finding sales tax involves percent,
which they will study at a later time.
䉴 Reviewing Decimal Notation
WHOLE-CLASS
ACTIVITY
for Money
(My Reference Book, p. 90)
Write an amount like $12.37 on the board and label it accordingly
with “whole dollar amount,” “decimal point,” and “cents amount.”
Remind children that the period after the 12 is called the decimal
point. The digits before the decimal point stand for whole dollar
amounts; the digits after the decimal point stand for cents
amounts (less than a dollar). Point out that in dollars-and-cents
notation, there are always two digits after the decimal point.
NOTE Although amounts of 1 dollar or more
can be written as cents ($1.25 125¢), this
isn’t usually done.
Ask someone to read the amount shown on the board. Write the
answers on the board to support English language learners.
Sample answers: twelve dollars and thirty-seven cents; twelve
dollars thirty-seven cents; twelve dollars thirty-seven; twelve
thirty-seven The “and” in “twelve dollars and thirty-seven cents”
stands for the decimal point.
With children, practice reading and writing money amounts in
dollars-and-cents notation. Suggestions:
䉯 Write amounts such as $1.25 and $3.05 on the board. Ask
children to read the amounts. One dollar and twenty-five cents;
three dollars and five cents
䉯 Ask: In $1.25, what does the 1 stand for? 1 dollar What does the
25 stand for? 25 cents
䉯 Write amounts less than one dollar, such as $0.48 and $0.06.
Ask: How do you read this? $0.48 can be read as “zero dollars
and 48 cents,” but it is usually read simply as “48 cents.”
䉯 Dictate amounts such as “5 dollars and 64 cents,” “32 cents,”
and “3 cents.” Children write them in dollars-and-cents
notation on their slates.
Links to the Future
This is a beginning exposure to decimal
notation. Reading, writing, and modeling
numbers with manipulatives to the
hundredths is a Grade 3 Goal.
You may wish to read more about dollars-and-cents notation with
your class in My Reference Book, page 90.
䉴 Investigating Pennies and

ACTIVITY
Dimes as Fractions of a Dollar
Use pennies, dimes, and dollars to illustrate the relationships
among these coins and $1.00. Record the relationships on the
board (see margin). Ask questions like the following:
●
How many pennies are in one dollar? 100 pennies
●
What part of a dollar is a penny? 100 of a dollar
●
How do you write 1 penny in dollars-and-cents notation? $0.01

cents. Ask your child to read each amount aloud. Remind your child that the digits before
the decimal point stand for whole dollars; the digits after the decimal point stand for cents.
When reading amounts such as “3 dollars and fifty-seven cents,” the word “and” is used to
denote the decimal point.
