We have been learning to add money.
We know we can do this when
*We add the dollars first and then the cents
*We know 100 cents makes $1
*We count in tens to add up eg. 50+20=70
*We use the $ and c symbols to show dollars and cents.

| Neesha's bug is worth $7.30c |
 |
| Bella's chrysalis is worth $5.60c and her butterfly is worth $12.50c |
 |
| Max's butterfly is worth $13.20c |
 |
| Caitlyn's 'J' on the swan plant is worth $9.60c |
 |
| Thomas' bug is worth $6.70c |
Adding up coins is a bit tricky. We found it easier when we made piles of $1 and then added on the rest.
Use the coins at home to practice adding.
I love your bugs room 8. What a clever strategy to add the dollars up first then the cents. We love your $6.70 butterfly Thomasx
