Use relationships to count by twos, fives, and tens to determine the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, and/or dimes.
The Money Unit involves skip counting strategies to determine the value of a collection of coins in order to answer questions such as:
- How many pennies does it take to equal a nickel? How could you use skip counting to figure out the value of a collection of nickels? How many pennies does it take to equal a dime? How could you use skip counting to figure out the value of a collection of dimes?
- If you have a collection of dimes and nickels, how could you use skip counting to find its value? When you run out of dimes to count by tens, how should you count the remaining nickels?
- How many different ways can you make change for 15ยข? How will you know you have found all of the ways?
