This course aims to teach elementary mathematics concepts (K-6) using money as a tool to illustrate arithmetic. The learning outcomes include understanding the connection between money and arithmetic, recognizing the "Problem of Carrying," and introducing a novel way of representing numbers called "open numbers." The course teaches skills such as converting money amounts to row rectangle representations, identifying the distinction between money representation and Hindu-Arabic numerals, and applying these concepts to larger additions and multiplications. The teaching method involves using a system of $1, $10, $100, and $1000 bills to visually represent arithmetic concepts. The intended audience for this course is young learners in elementary mathematics education.
