What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
A dime is smaller than a nickel and a penny, but worth 10¢.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 1 dime, 1 nickel. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Name each coin
- Read its value
- Size does not tell value
Helping at home
Read each coin by its name and value, not its size. The dime is the smallest coin but worth 10¢.
If your kid gets stuck
