This is a start toward preparing students for multiplication, but falls below what this review expects for top marks. The clock face is described and the concept of counting by 5's to find the minutes after the hour is explained. In the first four sections students read and write times to the nearest 5 minutes. Chapter 9 has two sections on using a calendar. The number of days in a week and months in a year are reviewed and an entire year of calendar pages is presented.
Questions regarding dates, days of the week, number of days in a month, etc. follow.
The latter section has some problems requiring the students to determine duration of events, to the nearest half hour. Given the starting and ending times. Although some opening the day calendar and time exercises are suggested in the teacher's edition, none of these really focuses on stating the date accurately and locating it on a calendar. Most of the money applications occur in Chapters 6 and 7. Chapter 6 contains 4 sections dealing primarily with counting coins.
