Eight rows of up to eight coins each, mixed up the way coins come out of a pocket, with totals from about 40 cents to a full dollar. Children sort the coins in their heads (or tick them off) biggest value first, then count on: quarters, then dimes, then nickels, then pennies. One row makes exactly one dollar, written as one dollar and no cents. Write each total in the box. Page 2 is the answer key.
