kaitlin.Ls coin math for october 10, 2009

On Friday we talked about this image, Mr.H gave us a task to make up questions about how much money is in the jar. Second: we would share our quetions to the whole class in our group. then we would see if that quetion would help us out or if it had nothing to do with math. then he told us that there was $100 American coins in the jar. Then we made more quetions and Mr.H origanised the quetions to red to being the first quetions, then black to being just questons and nothing to do with math, then blue was for the second questions, then purple for the last. then Mr.H gave us homework to answer a purple question and any other but black.

My homework! :)
1.how would you sort the coins.
I would sort them by pennies, nicles, dimes, and quarters because those are the only coins in America because theier $1 is a bill and Canada has loonies and toonies.

2. would the jar look the same if it was converted to Canadian money.
No it would not because Canadians have more coins becasue they have loonies and toonies so they would take up alot of space in the jar.
