Math with Money

by Mari

Today I learned about coins and how much makes a dollar. Our first thing about math making dollars is:

100 pennies makes $1 (count by 1's)
20 nickels makes $1 (count by 5's)
10 dimes makes $1 (count by 10's)
4 quarters makes $1 (count by 25's)

You use cents at banks, stores, gas stations, restaurants. That's where you use coins and dollars. It's important to know about money and it's fun to learn about money, so you can give the right amount of money to the places and you don't lose a lot of money.
