Lemonade Stand

Today I have a story for you about a little girl who started a lemonade stand in the Winter!  Do you like lemonade?  It will be a nice idea in the summer time when the weather is hot, but they were determined to have one in the Winter!  After you listen to the story, I want you to create your very own stand.  You can sell 3 things at your stand...it can be lemonade, limeade, watermelon juice...whatever you want!  



Draw your stand and list out how much each of your items will sell for.  However, make sure they are all under $1 because people won’t come to your stand if it’s too expensive!  After, please list out all the different combinations of coins that people can give you for each item.



For example:  

In my stand, I am going to sell Jello!

Blueberry Jello 25¢ a cup
- 1 quarter (25¢)
- 2 dimes and a nickel (10¢ + 10¢ + 5¢ = 25¢)

Strawberry Jello for 15¢ a cup 
- 1 dime and 1 nickel (10¢ + 5¢ = 15 ¢)

Melon Jello for 50¢ a cup
- 2 quarters (25¢ + 25¢ = 50¢)
- 1 quarter, 2 dimes, and a nickel (25¢ + 10¢ + 10¢ + 5¢ = 50¢)
- 1 quarter and 5 nickels (25¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ = 50¢)
- 10 nickels (5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ + 5¢ = 50¢)

* there are MORE combinations to each one, but in case you choose the same numbers as me, I don’t want to give you all the answers 😉
