Grammar Transparency 3

Day 1 Writing

Let’s read the Math Story on the transparency together.

The writer uses statements about selling gift wrap and one student’s sales. I can use subjects and verbs such as I sold and the Lanes bought to track total sales. Questions at the end signal what is to be calculated. To find out: how many rolls, add 3+2+2+3; how much money, multiply the sum x $4.

These sequence words can also be called “time order” words.

Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday

How can we use money wisely?

Zach loves to shop at yard sales. He is careful about

spending his money, and he offers some good tips for

yard-sale shoppers.

• Talk with your tables about yard sales you have been to or seen in your neighborhood.

Zach the Yard-Sale WhizThe eleven year old, sixth grader, in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Zach Bissonnette loved to shop. He did not participate in the normal kind of shopping in a mall or a retail store though. On Saturday morning, he and his mom were out early hitting yard sales. When he got to the sixth yard sale of the morning he started spending his allowance. He got an almost new console game system and two new games for $7. He has purchased clothes, books, sports equipment, games, magazines, and anything else he can find a good deal on that would interest an eleven year old. Zach loves to resist the temptation of overspending and looks for good bargains. On his way home his mother and he love to compare how much money they both saved by him hunting down the best deal. Some examples of his savings include: a new jacket for $5 instead of $70, books totaling over $25 for $2.50, a set of skis and poles for only $20 that would cost that much to rent them for a weekend, and a backpack with matching notebook with the tags still on them for $1. It makes for good times for both Zach and his mother.
