Assessments Are More Than Just A Grade.
This is a SHORT (3 min.) video outlining a 3-2-1 strategy you can use in your class.

PK - 1st
1st - 3rd
A Dollar, a Penny, How Much and How Many?
In this funny look at money, Brian P. Cleary and Brian Gable explain the basics of bills and coins. The comical cats show young readers how to count and combine pennies, nickels, fives, tens, and more. Peppy rhymes, goofy illustrations, and kid-friendly examples take the mystery out of money.

Thinking Task for Grades 3 -6
Jamie made up a new dice game. Two players each roll an ordinary six-sided die. Of the two numbers showing, the smaller is subtracted from the larger.
Scoring:
- If the difference is 0, 1, or 2, player A gets 1 point.
- If the difference is 3, 4, or 5, player B gets 1 point.
The game ends after 12 rounds. The player with the most points wins the game.
If you were given the choice of being Player A or Player B, which would you pick, assuming you want to win?
Remember to explain all the steps you use in making your decision.

Which is the best pet for each of them?
