Money
Children's ability to count money relies on their ability to integrate and master challenging, non-trivial skills that require a solid foundation.
* They must conserve number and perform simple arithmetic.
* They use counting skills to count by 5, 10, and 25.
* They need to identify and name each coin as a single unit: penny, nickel, dime, and quarter.
* In order to count coins, they must know the value of each coin as 1, 5, 10, or 25 cents.
* Children should also understand that money amounts can be represented in various ways as they learn to write decimal numbers, and they use the decimal point to express money amounts.
* Another important skill is to relate money amounts to the place value system: ones, tens, hundreds.
* Finally, children need to solve problems dealing with coins, including making change, and be able to justify and defend their results.
