Eight rows of 10c, 20c and 50c coins with gold 1 and 2 dollar coins, sorted biggest value first, with totals from 60 cents to about six dollars. Children count the dollars first, then count on the cents (2, 3, then 3.20, 3.30) and write the total in dollars and cents. It suits Year 2 to Year 4 in New Zealand and Australia. Page 2 is the answer key.
