This digital storybook is going to be geared to kindergarten/ first grade math students. The context of this book will revolved around money. In this book, I will teach the students about the different monetary amounts up to the one-hundred dollar bill. The story will include all of the coins, but the tasks will focus solely on whole dollar amounts. The story will mention real life objects that could be purchased for less than $100, and the student will have to either add or subtract from a given dollar amount to the amount necessary to buy the item. At the end of the story, there will be a glossary of each monetary amount and their worth. Additionally, the answers to the questions can be found at the end of the book.

Introductory Paragraph

Hello! My name is Mr. Jackson. In this book, I will teach you about money. We will talk about how we use it and we can practice math with it. Ready to learn? Let's get to it!

Money is everywhere! Every country has a form of currency. We all use money to purchase all sorts of things such as: food, clothes, electronics, and school supplies.

In the United States, we use the US Dollar. Behind me, you can see what the one dollar bill looks like! We also have a two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, and one-hundred dollar bill! Each bill has a different former United States President on it.

To the left of me, here are the different type of US Dollar bills!

Let's practice some math now!

Imagine your caregiver wants to buy a new game. The game costs $60. Your caregiver has $40. How many more ten dollar bills does your caregiver need? (Hint: Think of 10+10.)

Did you know that money is not the same around the world? Many countries have their own form of money. For example: the UK has the Pound. Japan uses Yen, and Mexico uses Pesos!

The largest bill commonly seen in the US is the one-hundred dollar bill. There are quite a few ways to make one-hundred! You could count by ones, or you could skip count by twos, fives, tens, twenties, or fifty.

Let's practice math again. How can you get $100 without having a one-hundred dollar bill or counting one-hundred ones? (Hint: You can skip count or using differing dollar amounts such as twenties and fives or tens and fives).

Money is handled in a variety of ways. People can spend money or people can save money. Other ways people can handle money is through investing. Money is mainly spent by going to the store to purchase items or services.
