How do we count money?
- Counting money means figuring out how much money you have.
- You look at the coins and bills you have and add them together.
- Each type of coin or bill has a different value, like 1 cent, 5 cents, or a dollar.
Examples:
- Counting coins:
- If you have three 1-dollar coins, you can count them as "1, 2, 3," which means you have $3.
- If you also have two 5-cent coins, that adds 10 cents more.
- Buying candy:
- If a candy bar costs $2 and you have a $5 bill, you can count $2 out of the $5.
- This means you will get $3 back as change!
- Saving money:
- If you save 1 dollar each week for 4 weeks, you can count your savings as "1, 2, 3, 4," making $4 in total.
- This is a great way to save for a toy!
