Counting Money - Making Change - Different Coins - Elementary Math Lessons & Tests - My Schoolhouse - Online Learning
 
We can use coins to make different amounts of money.  Five pennies makes a nickel.  Two nickels make a dime.  Read  below as we discover ways to make change.

Penny

1 penny,

1 cent,

or 1¢

Count by one to count pennies. 1 cent, 2 cents, 3 cents,
4 cents and so on.

 

Nickel

1 nickel,

5 cents,

or 5¢

Count by fives to count nickels. 5 cents, 10 cents, 15 cents,
20 cents and so on.

5 pennies = 1 nickel

1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent = 5 cents or
1 nickel.

 

Dime

1 dime,

10 cents,

or 10¢

Count by tens to count dimes.  10 cents, 20 cents, 30 cents,
40 cents and so on.

10 pennies = 1 dime

1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent
+ 1 cent + 1 cent + 1 cent = 10 cents or 1 dime.

2 nickels = 1 dime.

5 cents + 5 cents = 10 cents or one dime.

 

Quarter

1 quarter,

25 cents,

or 25¢

Count by 25 to count quarters.

25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents, $1.00 and so on.

25 pennies = 1 quarter

5 nickels = 1 quarter

2 dimes and 1 nickel = 1 quarter

For example; 5¢ = 1 Nickel or 5 Penny
