Counting MORE Coins

Yesterday, you practiced counting some coins.  Today, you will count a bunch of different coins again...this time with loonies!  You do the same thing where you first organize the coins from the one that is worth the most to the one that is worth the least.  The only difference is that you have to use ''dollar'' and use the decimal to show ''cents''.  Here is another video for you today and the picture example.


First, you start off with the loonie, which is worth $1.00.  
When you add a quarter, you add $1.00+$0.25 to get $1.25. 
Next, you add a dime to $1.25, $1.25+$0.10 is $1.35.  
Finally, you add a nickel.  $1.35+$0.05 is $1.40.

You have $1.40 in total.

Practice again with the following activity sheet.  You can write down the value under each coin to help you count like how I did above. 



CHALLENGE:
This one has coins all mixed up...remember to put them in order and then count them.  You can draw them out onto another piece of paper.
  

** When you are done everything, you can practice with this COUNTING MONEY GAME.
