Place some quarters, dimes, and nickels in paper cups. Students take one paper cup, add the coins, and stand on the sum on the mat.

Alternatively, students can take out one coin at a time, hop to the amount on the mat, and place the coin on the mat. Students can repeat this process of hopping and adding the coins until all coins are on the mat. The final coin placed on the mat is the total amount of change in the cup!
