Money mats


I've been looking for a way to teach my students the money value of objects and reinforce beginning money counting skills.  I've made what I call "money mats" for a center.   I cut out items with prices from our local grocery store / walgreens ad and pasted them on to card stock.  Then I traced our play money onto the map to show how much money is needed to buy the item.  Students are then able to compare items to see which items cost more or less than each other.
