What Did They Say! Wednesday! A Linky Party!

I love how funny my students are without even realizing it!

This is a story that goes to show how confused students can be about money!


One of my girls was talking about her dads new phone.  She said "I want to download Temple Run on it but I cant because its 99 dollars!"  

I tried to explain to her that it was 99 cents, but she insisted that since it had the dollar symbol ($0.99) not the cents symbol that it must be dollars!

I dont even know how to begin to explain that concept of decimals and parts of a dollar to my class!  She was so adamant that it was 99 dollars I couldnt think of any way to convince her otherwise!

Rules for the Linky Party:

1. Share a story that one of your kids said on your blog!  If you dont have a blog, leave a comment with your story!
2. Use the HTML code at the top of this post to link back to the post!
3. Comment on the two blog posts before yours!
