Introduction:
Who has some money with them? Has anyone ever used or earned money? Well today we are going to learn about the different types of money and what they are worth. Pay attention because there will be a project involving the use of money and the information will be on your next exam. It will be an exam on the computer so we can see and hear when we get the answers right. This way will help us learn better.
