You have to put an amount together from coins and bills.
Think about it: which coins or bills add up to exactly that amount?
Example: $6
You can take a 5 and a 1, because 5 + 1 = 6.
Tip: take the big values first, then the small ones.
There is often more than one right answer.
Example
For parents

Common pitfalls

How to practice at home
Lay out small amounts with real play money, for example the price of an ice cream.
