Multiplication by 5′s with Money

These 3rd grade students have been learning about multiplication. This week they are working on multiplication by 5′s, so we had them create a Google Presentation to show the multiples of 5 using money. First, students created a presentation and had slides for 1×5, 2×5, 3×5, etc. They used the image search tool to find a picture of that coin to insert into their presentation. They practiced copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) to make multiple pictures of the same coin. After creating slides for the facts through 10, students went back and added in slides to show how you could make that same amount of money with the fewest coins possible. They made combinations of nickels, dimes, and quarters to demonstrate their understanding of this concept. Check out this finished work sample:
