We had a lot of fun during Penny Wars! And even though we didn't win:
1. We learned how to use negative numbers (they take away points from our total, so we subtract them).
2. We learned negative numbers are related to owing money.
3. We learned that -1,000 is actually less than -10, because it means we owe more.
4. We raised a lot of money for our school! This means more field trips, books, cultural events, and supplies to use in class.
So actually, in a way, we DID win! :D
