What does this exercise practice?
This exercise teaches paying with real coins: children learn to put together an amount with the biggest coins possible and develop an understanding of money values.
Common pitfalls
Children tend to take many small coins instead of big ones. Using real money, show that a 1 dollar bill is worth the same as ten 10 cent coins, so the value becomes tangible.
How to practice at home
Give the child a small wallet with real loose change on the next shopping trip. Let them gather the amount for a loaf of bread or a magazine themselves. Real money sticks in the memory.
