Instructors can:

  • say an amount and ask learners to point to it.
  • say an amout and ask learners to circle it.
  • use real coins in place of the illustration on this page.

Learners can:

  • draw a line from the left column to the matching value in the right column.
  • write the total amounts beside the illustrations.
  • work in pairs. Cut the paper down the middle. Each partner takes half the sheet. Each learner cuts up her paper. Learners take turns asking each other for the amount on each piece of paper. (e.g. Learner A has two nickels. He ask his partner,"Do you have ten cents?" Learner B gives her partner the picture of a dime.)
