Making Change

The students in Ms. Farmer’s 3rd grade class have been studying money and specifically how to make change.  To begin, I gave the students this Making Change Flipchart in which they had to read the scenario and then give the change back to the customer.  I decided to use an Inspire Flipchart because it has the drag a copy feature where the students could easily drag multiple copies of the coins and dollar bill to make the change.  Inspire is also nice because students can use the screen record feature to create a screen cast to explain the process they went through to find the answer.

After practicing with the recording tools, the students selected another slide and typed their own word problem.  Next, they used the screen record feature to explain how they would make change for the customer.  Take a look at this great student sample!
