The I Like Money Math! series shows the middle reader how to identify, count, add, and subtract money. The book format is as much visual as it is textual. A straightforward presentation of the basics of money and math gives the young reader an essential grasp on the real world of math. This book concentrates on subtracting money. If the child knows the denominations kept and given away, he or she can count what is left. Another way to find out how much money remains is to identify the values of the coins or bills started with and those gone. Write these values down in a subtraction format and calculate the answer, making sure to write a cents sign or dollar sign where needed. The second way of subtracting can be done even when the type of money is not known. Only the values need to be known. The reader is also shown how to calculate what change to expect from coins and from bills when making purchases. Examples given are buying a bookmark, a book, candy, or pizza, all very appropriate for a child. Checking change is a slightly different process. There are two way of doing this: (1) through addition of the change received to the amount paid, or (2) by counting on from the amount spent through the change received. This would be an excellent adjunct to school lessons in subtraction. There are references to books and websites, plus an index. Practice worksheets are online., Children's Literature
