Coins & Notes
Recognising common coins and notes, knowing their values, and understanding that different combinations can make the same amount

The lesson
Money comes in coins and notes. Each one has its own value. A big coin is not always worth more.
Mia wants to spend 10 cents. She can use one dime. She can also use two nickels. Both make the same amount.
Check each coin before you count it. Small coins can be worth more than big ones. Coins with the same value always match.
Every coin has a value, and coins can combine in many ways.
