Materials Preparation

Prepare Coin Collections. Using the classroom set of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, place three to four of each coin in a paper bag to total about 15 coins. Each student pair will need a bag of coins. These will be used in Part 2. Set aside 100 pennies and 10 dimes for use in Part 1.

Prepare Optional Targeted Practice. To provide more practice finding the value of a collection of coins, place the bags of coins and copies of the first Bag of Coins page in the Student Activity Book in a center with calculators. Place copies of the Three Pockets Master and sets of 10 dimes in another center.
