Dollar Words

On Math Mondays, we work on math skills.  This week, we had a fun challenge we learned about in a book called Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea.  The goal is to find words that add up to 100 (or $1.00) using the key A=1, B=2, C=3 etc.!  The kids had a time limit and could not use any of the dollar words from the book and came up with exactly ONE word - TELEPHONE! Alex had a modification in that he picked site words and had to add to calculate their totals.  It was a great challenge for all and they hardly knew they were doing math. :)
