Counting Change

We have been learning to use the fewest number of coins to make amounts up to 10 cents in Grade 1 and up to 100 cents in Grade 2.

For example, to show 8 cents, students should think about the biggest coin that they can use first and then fill in the rest with smaller coins. (A nickel and three dimes makes 8 cents.)

Cash Out Canada is a game that asks you to be the cashier and give change to someone. It’s at the Grade 2 level on the easiest settings.
