Maximizing Math Achievement
Time and Money
Each of our Workshops In a Box contains a 3 ring binder with directions for completing the workshop, a list of materials included in the box, an Evaluation Questionnaire and a Learning Log and Research on Brain Based Learning. Teachers can choose to complete any twelve or more of the activities and actually do at least two of the activities with their class, or a small group of children for a total of five hours.
This make and take workshop includes six time center activities, eight money center activities, two time and money games and two time and money booklets to make. In many cases you can use the same center activity idea for either time or money. We have included extra pieces in some cases so you could make more of some of the activities.
