Hands-On

Which set of coins does not equal the value of one quarter, or 25¢?

  1. 10 pennies, 1 nickel, 1 dime
  2. 5 pennies, 2 nickels, 1 dime

Oops, this one does equal 25¢!

Oops, this one does equal 25¢!

Great job!
3 dimes = 30¢
3 nickels = 15¢
3 pennies = 3¢
30¢ + 15¢ + 3¢= 48¢

Which set of coins does not equal the value of 2 quarters, or 50¢?

  1. 10 pennies, 4 nickels, 2 dimes
  2. 20 pennies, 2 nickels, 2 dimes

Way to go!
2 dimes = 20¢
1 nickel = 5¢
10 pennies = 10¢
20¢ + 5¢ + 10¢ = 35¢

Oops, this one does equal 50¢!

Oops, this one does equal 50¢!

Which set of coins does not equal the value of 3 quarters, or 75¢?

  1. 15 pennies, 4 nickels, 4 dimes
  2. 5 pennies, 4 nickels, 5 dimes

Nicely done!
2 dimes = 20¢
4 nickels = 20¢

Oops, this one does equal 75¢!

Oops, this one does equal 75¢!
