Section D: Practice Problems The Value of Money

Section Summary

Details

In this section we learned the value of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies and how to recognize each coin. We used addition and counting strategies to find the values of mixed sets of coins. We learned that a dollar has the same value as 100 cents and combined coins to make $1. We also solved story problems about money.
