OPS TLA Math in the Middle teacher Tricia Krause has a classroom challenge! Tricia put up a board called "How Many Ways are There to Make Change for a Dollar?" at the beginning of the year and challenged her students to find all 293 ways. Tricia said, "As they found them, we put them on the board and then I checked them off the solution list. I also begged them not to ruin it by looking up the solutions online!"
