Vending Machine Math

Students practiced adding money and making change this week by playing vending machine math games. Yesterday, students looked at the vending machine poster and selected two items to purchase. They were required to take pictures of the items they wanted in the Pic Wall app.  Once they had the pictures, they needed to write a sentence telling me what two items they picked along with the price and how much the items cost together. Here is one example: (make sure to check KidBlog for your child's poster)

Today, some students pretended to be the customer and were given a bag a money to purchase items from the vending machine. Other students pretended to be the vending machine and they had to return the correct amount of change to the customer. Here are a few pictures of students working.
