Creative Coin Collections

This lesson is designed to give students additional practice making and computing values of coins using pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. The lesson can be adjusted to challenge students by requiring them to make as many combinations of a given amount as they can or to make the amounts using as many different coins as they can. They can be asked how to make the amounts given using the least amount of coins. Students can be grouped so that less proficient students can see and hear more proficient students count and calculate coin combinations.
