Our First Student Decimal Project Submission

I arrived back from lunch yesterday to find two empty containers of cookies on my desk.  My reaction was, "who left trash on my desk?!?"  When DA, aka Aggie, came to my room he said that a student, LM, had left them there.  When LM arrived I asked him why he felt he could leave the cookie containers on my desk and he replied, "the prices are wrong!" I was so focused on the trash, I had never looked at the label. 
Here are the photos of the cookie containers in question:

 

69.  and 70

  

LM hit on a topic I hadn't even covered - the lack of ANY label for monetary unit.  We can (hopefully) assume that the store means to charge 69 cents and 70 cents for said cookies, but how do we know?  There is no label.  As I ask my students who fail to label their work in class, "what do you mean?" 70 shoes? 69 ice creams?  No label = reduced credit for a problem.  

Nice work LM!!
