Let's learn about making amounts using US coins! We'll use pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to add up to different amounts of money. Remember, each coin has a different value: a penny is worth 1 cent, a nickel is worth 5 cents, a dime is worth 10 cents, and a quarter is worth 25 cents. Adding these coins together helps us reach a specific total.
For example, if you need to make 30 cents, you could use one quarter (25 cents) and one nickel (5 cents). That's 25 + 5 = 30 cents! Practice makes perfect, so let's dive into some fun activities to master this skill! 🧮
