PROCEDURE:

MAIN ACTIVITY: Split children into groups. Hand out baggies with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and numbered cards. The students will then work as a team to figure out how many ways they can use the coins to equal up the monetary amount on the card. This will continue until they have gone through all the cards in the baggie.
CLOSURE/CONCLUSION: After the group activity, review all that's been taught and answer any questions the students might ask.
FOLLOW UP: Move onto dollars and how many coins take to equal the monetary value of the dollars
