Counting pennies, nickels & dimes

A dime is worth 10¢ — the same as two nickels, even though it is the smallest coin. Count the dimes by 10s first, then the nickels by 5s, then the pennies by 1s.

💡

Quick way to teach it: Point out that the dime is small but worth more than the nickel — value isn't about size. Counting from the most valuable coin down (10s, then 5s, then 1s) is the reliable order.
