Coins
In the world of money, coins play an important role. They are used as a form of currency for making purchases and transactions. Coins come in different denominations and are often used in combination with paper currency.
Common denominations of coins include:
- Penny (1 cent): The smallest denomination coin, often copper in color.
- Nickel (5 cents): A slightly larger coin, typically made of a nickel and copper blend.
- Dime (10 cents): Smaller and thinner than a nickel, usually made of a combination of metals.
- Quarter (25 cents): The largest and heaviest of common coins, with a distinctive ridged edge.
When counting coins, it's important to know the value of each coin and how to add them together to find the total value. For example, 3 quarters would be 75 cents, 4 dimes would be 40 cents, and 5 pennies would be 5 cents. Understanding the value of coins is an essential skill for handling money.
Additionally, coins often feature historical figures, national symbols, or iconic designs on their faces, making them not only a practical form of currency but also a piece of art and history.

Connections to the Grade 3 Focal Points (NCTM)
Number and Operations: Building on their work in grade 2, students extend their understanding of place value to numbers up to 10,000 in various contexts. Students also apply this understanding to the task of representing numbers in different equivalent forms (e.g., expanded notation). They develop their understanding of numbers by building their facility with mental computation (addition and subtraction in special cases, such as 2,500 + 6,000 and 9,000 - 5,000), by using computational estimation, and by performing paper-and-pencil computations.
