Compter les pièces de monnaie (Counting coins)

 

 

The students need to familiarize themselves with the different coins, understand their value and how they are interrelated.

10 cents  =  10 x 1 cent  =  2 x 5 cents   or  1 x 5 cents plus 5 x 1 cent.

 

If a candy costs 30 cents, what coins are they going to hand out to pay the exact amount?

30 coins of 1 cent?

3 coins of 10 cents?

6 coins of 5 cents?

Or a combination of 10 cents, 5 cents and 1 cent?

Encourage your child to practice counting with the coins in French or English. Take him or her shopping with you.
