Dollar Bills and Coins: what children learn

Students combine whole-dollar bills with coins, adding the dollars and the cents separately and then writing one amount with a dollar sign and a dot. This connects counting money to place value.

Dollar Bills and Coins: worked example

1 five-dollar bill + 2 one-dollar bills + 2 quarters + 1 dime = $7.60

The bills are worth 5 + 2 = 7 dollars. The coins are worth 50¢ and 10¢, which is 60¢. In all, that is $7.60.

Dollar Bills and Coins: a common mistake to watch for

Kids sometimes add the number of bills and coins together instead of adding what each one is worth.

Dollar Bills and Coins: how to help at home or in class

Set up a pretend shop with a few toys priced like $3.75 or $6.40. Give your child play bills and real coins, and ask them to pay the exact amount. Lay out the bills first, then the coins, and add each pile separately. For instance, a five and two singles with 3 quarters makes $7.75. When your child pays exact amounts confidently, money in words is next.
