You need to make an amount using coins and bills.
Think about it: which coins or bills add up to exactly the amount?
Example: $7
You can take a $5 bill and a $2 bill, because 5 + 2 = 7.
Tip: Take the large values first, then the small ones.
There is often more than one correct answer.
Example
For parents
What does this exercise practice?
Confidently make amounts with coins and bills, choosing large values before small ones.
Common pitfalls
Children often forget the cents part. Read the amount in two parts, first the dollars, then the cents.
How to practice at home
Use real play money to make small amounts, for example the price of an ice cream.
