Every year, since 1998, the math teachers at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf have utilized "math dollars" with their classes and held a math auction for their students at the end of the year. Credit for providing us with this wonderful idea goes to Ms. Stephany Faulkner, presenter at the April 1998 NCTM conference and teacher at the Norfolk Academy in Norfolk, VA. We thank her for giving us the enthusiasm and excitement to start on a new adventure. By adapting her ideas to fit the needs of our deaf and hard of hearing students we have developed an activity that has become a common component of our daily instruction. We invite you to try it with your own classes! We guarantee you will have fun!
