Squirrels- Buy It!

The store has this really awesome desert animal book that you want to buy!  It costs $2.30. 

Your mom says you can get it if you can show her two different ways to buy it.  So, write which bills and coins you would use to buy the book.  Then write a different way to pay for it!

Bears- Buy It!

Mrs. McMahan gave 3 students money to buy ice cream for their birthdays.  She only had a 5 dollar bill though.  If each ice cream cost $0.75, how much will all 3 ice creams cost?  Is $5.00 enough to buy them all?  Will there be change?  If so, how much?

Owls- Plave Value Extension

When we first did our place value unit, we learned place value through the hundreds and we talked a little about the thousands. However, a number can get much bigger than just the thousands place. Use the place value chart below to answer the following questions about the number 63,591,024.

             6 3, 5 9 1, 0 2 4

1.  What digit is in the thousands place?

2.  In which place is the 3?

3.  Write this number in expanded form.

4.  Write this number in word form.

When you have posted your answer answer to #1-4, click these links for some place value games!

Owls- Describe the Polygons!

This picture contains 24 polygons.  You need to pick 10 to describe.  When describing each one, you can tell its name, what type of angles it has, whether it is regular or irregular, what you know about its sides and vertices, and anything else you'd like to say about the shape.  Make sure you are clear in your descriptions and if you don't get to all 10 shapes the first day, go ahead and post what you have and make a new comment to finish later in the week.
