Place value conversion

This term in Mr Wong's maths groups we are learning about measurement. To help out with that, this week we are getting practise exchanging values. 

The challenge here is to make the thinnest money clip possible. Why? Because fat money clips can't fit in pockets. How? We did this by equally exchanging our notes for notes of higher value. For example, ten $1 notes can be exchanged for one $10 making the pile of cash thinner.


The Learning Intention was to exchange place value money.
