In Saxon Math Intermediate 4, Lesson 8 introduces Grade 4 students to adding money amounts using both physical money manipulatives and the standard pencil-and-paper algorithm, where ones digits and tens digits are added separately in columns. Students practice aligning dollar amounts correctly and applying the addition process to real-world word problems involving two-digit money sums. The lesson also reinforces place value understanding by connecting tens and ones to written dollar amounts.
Section 1
📘 Adding Money
Money manipulatives can be used to model or act out the addition of money amounts.
Next, you’ll practice adding money amounts using both manipulatives and the standard pencil-and-paper method to master this skill.
Section 2
Adding money amounts
Money manipulatives are a fantastic, hands-on tool for visualizing the addition of money. To find a total, you can model or act out the problem by combining the bills and coins. For example, adding 15 dollars to 24 dollars means grouping the tens and ones separately, resulting in three 10-dollar bills and nine 1-dollar bills for a total of 39 dollars.
Think of it like being a money manager! You gather all the ten-dollar bills into one pile and all the one-dollar bills into another. Counting up your piles gives you the grand total. It's a fun, physical way to see how addition works with cash.
Section 3
Adding with pencil and paper
When adding money using pencil and paper, it is crucial to align the numbers correctly by place value. Begin by adding the digits in the ones place on the far right. Next, move to the tens place and add those digits. Continue this process from right to left for all place values, and don't forget to include the dollar sign in the answer.
32 dollars + 7 dollars, align the 2 and 7 in the ones place. Adding them gives 9. Bring down the 3 from the tens place for a total of 39 dollars.14 dollars + 75 dollars, first add the ones place: It's like building with LEGOs, but with numbers! You have to stack them up neatly, making sure the ones blocks are above other ones blocks. Add each column from right to left, starting from the ones, to build your final answer correctly.
Section 4
Extend a Pattern
This problem-solving strategy involves figuring out the secret rule or sequence in a set of given information. Once you understand the underlying pattern, you can apply that rule to predict what comes next. By finding the hidden relationship between the elements, you can easily complete the series, whether it involves numbers, shapes, or actions in a logical sequence.
Become a pattern detective! Your mission is to find the hidden rule in a puzzle, like 'add 3' or 'skip two circles.' Once you've cracked the code, you can use it to fill in all the missing pieces and solve the mystery before you.
