Ordering

Money is a great medium for math problems, and learners practice with coins in these addition equations. First, they add up five sets of coins (one is done for them), writing down the totals below each. Next, scholars sequence these totals in order from greatest to least. The second part is an exact repeat except they now write the totals from least to greatest. Consider using cut-out paper coins to practice this more tangibly. Ask scholars to come up with five different values, then place them on their desks in ascending or descending value order.
