Count each coin’s value

What this lesson shows

Fixes a mistake

4 coins are not 4¢. 2 dimes, a nickel, and a penny are 26¢.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 2 dimes, 1 nickel, 1 penny. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Not 1 cent each
  2. Count each value
  3. Biggest first

Helping at home

Each coin counts its own value, not 1. Count on by each value, biggest first.

If your kid gets stuck
