π― The Counting Strategy: Always count the biggest, most valuable things first!
Example: You have a $1 bill, 2 Quarters, 1 Dime, 3 Pennies. 1. Count the Bills: I have 1 Dollar. 2. Count the Quarters: 25, 50. (I have 50 cents). 3. Count the Dimes: 50 + 10 = 60 cents! 4. Count the Pennies: 60 + 3 = 63 cents! 5. Put it all together: $1.63! (One dollar, and sixty-three cents).
