Talking Points
- Money Management: "When you buy something, you give money to the store. Make sure to count how much you are spending and how much change you should get back."
- Telling Time: "The long hand on the clock points to minutes, while the short hand points to hours. Remember, there are 60 minutes in an hour!"
- Multiplication Tables: "Multiplication helps us quickly add equal groups together. Practice your times tables to become a math whiz!"
