Adding and Subtracting Money Word Problems Challenge

Miss Wasden provides a tutorial on solving money word problems by adding and subtracting. She explains that if you can handle numbers, you can manage money problems, with the main challenge being the decimal point. Using an example of buying an Italian ice, she demonstrates the CUBES strategy to solve the problem, emphasizing the importance of understanding key terms like 'leftover' for subtraction. The tutorial includes a detailed breakdown of the steps needed to solve the problem, including interpreting the value of coins and performing calculations with decimals.
