What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students count collections that mix dimes and pennies, with a total no greater than 100 cents. They connect each dime to ten cents, count on by tens and ones, and state the total value.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student counts 6 dimes as 60 cents and then counts on 7 pennies to reach 67 cents. The student records the total as 67¢.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may count every coin as one cent or switch between counting by tens and ones inaccurately. They may confuse the number of coins with the collection's value.
How to Assess It
- Give the student 7 dimes and 8 pennies in mixed order. Ask for the total value and an explanation of the counting sequence.
