Learning Objectives:

How the Activity Works:
Students are presented with collections of coins and asked to count and add them up to determine the total value, which should always add up to $1. They may encounter different combinations of coins, such as 50c + 50c, 20c + 20c + 20c + 20c + 20c, and so on. The activity helps students practise counting by 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s, and even $1.
