This is a dollar.

Vol. 32, No. 12
Charlotte, Olivia, Jayden and
Vihaan each brought $2.00 to
their school’s spring carnival for
snacks. Each of them bought
one snack. Count their change to
see who bought which snack.
And this is a dollar, too.
To figure this out, first count
from 66 to 70. Because you
are counting by 1s, circle a
penny for each number.

69
Now that you are at 70,
counting by 1s to 100
would mean there are a
lot of pennies for
change. You can do that,
but most people like to
get their change with a
small number of coins.

Charlotte’s change:
The example on this page shows how to give Maria her change of 34 cents with 7 coins - 4 pennies
ies
and 3 dimes. How could you give her change with only 6 coins? Circle the coins in green.
Now try it on your own!
Next Maria is going to buy a pencil that costs 58¢.
She has a $1.00 bill. How much change will she
get? Circle the coins that show the
change she will get in red.

Providing the rest of the
change in dimes would
mean counting by 10s.
With the 4 pennies you
are at 70, so with the
next dime, you would
be at 80 then 90 then
100. Circle the 3 dimes
to show the change you
counted to get to $1.00.

Jayden’s change:
Draw the coin that should come next to continue the pattern in each row.
Find three prices in
the newspaper that
are written as
numerals, for
example: $2.99.
Rewrite the price
with words so that
$2.99 becomes
two dollars and
ninety-nine cents.

This week’s word:
PRACTICE
The verb practice means to
work at something often to
learn it well.
My mom sets aside an hour
each day to practice playing
the piano.
Try to use the word practice
in a sentence today when
talking with your friends
and family members.
Making Change
Find the price for something for sale in the
newspaper that costs less than $10. Pretend
you were going to buy this for $10. Figure
out what change you would receive.
What would you do is you
found $10 on the playground?
What would you hope
someone else might do if they
found $10 that you had lost?
