What does this exercise practice?
This exercise shows how different coin values are added together and connects calculating with an everyday situation.
Common pitfalls
Children sometimes mix up the value of the coins, especially since the dime is smaller than the nickel even though it is worth more. Touching and comparing real coins helps to memorize them.
How to practice at home
Put loose change from the wallet on the table and count it together. How much is everything together? Who gets to keep one cent?
