Lately, students in Division 7 have been making things and selling them for pretend paper money. I decided this was a great opportunity for some money counting practice, so I am going to channel their enthusiasm into a class store. Yesterday, students started making things they wanted to sell. After making their creations they had to price them, and sell them to the store owner (me.) I put a price tag on and students counted the money to put in their own wallet, saving it for when the store opens next week. Most students were very thoughtful about how to price their products, considering how much others would be willing to pay. Already the store has quite a bit of stock, and we are looking forward to opening next week!
