Using Play Money

Now that you know each coin\u2019s value, it is time to put coins together and find the total. We use a strategy called count on — start with the biggest coin and add each smaller coin one at a time.

What this lesson teaches

1Count a small group of coins by starting with the highest-value coin
2Add each coin’s value to find the total in cents
3Show that the same total can be made with different coins
