Activity Instructions

Have students stand in a group on one denomination on the mat (e.g. 3 on dimes) and count how much their coins are worth (30 cents).

Then have the other students stand on an equal number of cents using no dimes (e.g. one on the quarter and one on the nickel).

Challenge the other students to make the same amount using the least number of coins and the most.
