Mighty Mathematicians at work!

"We are making crayon boxes.  We can only have 10 crayons, and we can only use red, yellow, and green."

"It's very fun! It's funner than expected!"

"We had to add and subtract cubes to make the right number." (In this activity, each bag has a different number of cubes in it.  The first task is to find out if there are enough cubes in the bag to give one to every person in the class.  The next task is to determine how many cubes are needed if there wasn't enough for every person, or how many cubes were left over if there was more than enough for every person!)

We collected data for our first pocket day!

"We're trying to get to 25 cents.  You roll the dice and make trades for dimes and nickels."

We're trading coins as we play money games.

"We had to make up ways to get 5."
