Product Description

 

You will get a lot of bang for your buck when you introduce this study to your students.  What is a $1 word?  Any word that has a value of exactly $1 when its letters are added together using the values a = 1¢, b = 2¢, ... z = 26¢. The skills they will hone include: 

  • Addition computation
  • Calculator
  • Vocabulary
  • Parts of speech
  • Base words
  • Prefixes & suffixes
  • Partciples
  • Singular & plural
  • Compound words
  • Spelling and proof-reading
  • Dicitionary & thesaurus skills
  • Study skills
  • Internet skills
  • Critical thinking
  • Problem solving
  • Cooperative learning

After introducing the concept, traditional studies of $1 WORDS proceed by asking students to find more $1 WORDS.  Little in life could be more frustrating!  Without some direction, that task is simply overwhelming.  Thus, I have created clues for finding $1 WORDS.  Copy these 15 clues on green paper, cut apart, and distribute to your students.  It's fun.  It combines myriad skills.  It's ready to copy and go!  An answer key is included.

As an enrichment specialist, I challenged all the classes at one grade level to a $1 WORD contest for 1 month.  It was such fun to watch my students clamor for more clues in every spare moment.
