Learning objective

What this activity builds

Add whole-dollar and cent amounts accurately, including coin subtotals that make an additional dollar.

Worked example

What is the value of a $10 bill, a $5 bill, 3 quarters and 4 dimes?

$16.15.

The bills total $15.00. The coins total 75 + 40 = 115 cents, or $1.15. Together they make $16.15. The coin collection contributes a whole dollar as well as 15 remaining cents.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Separate the bill and coin subtotals at first, then check the result using one total in cents.
  • Compare fronts and backs of the same denomination so a change of face is not mistaken for a change of value.
  • Start with smaller collections. Larger denomination choices and totals crossing a dollar require additional calculation fluency.
