Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn how to count coins to buy something special, like candy! Let’s pretend you want to buy a bag of candy that costs 65 cents. We’ll use some coins to make exactly 65 cents. Are you ready? Let’s go!
First, let’s meet our coins. We have quarters, dimes, and nickels. Each coin has a different value:
Quarters are worth 25 cents each. Let’s start by counting with quarters:
25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents… Uh-oh! 75 cents is too much because we only need 65 cents. Let’s go back to 50 cents. So, we need two quarters to make 50 cents.
Next, let’s use dimes. Dimes are worth 10 cents each. We start at 50 cents and count:
50 cents, 60 cents, 70 cents… Oops! 70 cents is too much. Let’s go back to 60 cents. We need one dime to make 60 cents.
Now, let’s use nickels. Nickels are worth 5 cents each. We start at 60 cents and count:
60 cents, 65 cents… Perfect! We need one nickel to make 65 cents.
So, to make 65 cents, we need:
And there you have it! You have 65 cents, just enough to buy your candy. Great job!
Now you know how to count coins to make different amounts. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a coin counting star in no time!
Coin Hunt Adventure: Go on a coin hunt at home! Ask an adult to help you find some quarters, dimes, and nickels. Once you have a small collection, try to make different amounts of money. Can you make 30 cents, 45 cents, or even 80 cents? Use your coins to practice counting and see how many different combinations you can find!
Coin Match Game: Create a fun matching game with your friends or family. Write different amounts of money on small pieces of paper, like 15 cents, 40 cents, or 65 cents. Then, use your coins to match the amounts on the papers. See who can match the most amounts correctly in a set time!
Shopping with Coins: Next time you go to a store with an adult, bring your coins along. Try to buy something small, like a piece of candy or a sticker, using only your coins. Count them out carefully to make sure you have the right amount. This will help you practice using coins in real-life situations!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi Sam! Hey Digit! I’ve been saving my money to buy candy. Saving money to buy something is a responsible thing to do. Candy bags cost 65 cents. I have these coins; let’s make 65 cents from your coins.
Quarters are the coin with the largest value that is less than 65, so we will begin with them. We will skip count by the value of quarters, then dimes, and then nickels until we get to exactly 65 cents. When we skip count, if we go over 65 cents, we will need to go back to the last value we said.
Quarters are worth 25 cents each. Let’s skip count by 25 cents: 25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents. 75 cents is more than 65 cents, so I go back to the last number I counted, which is 50. I’ll need two quarters.
That’s right, Digit! Dimes are the next highest value. Start at 50 cents and skip count by 10 cents without going over 65. Okay, 50 cents, 60 cents, 70 cents—too far! I need to go back to the last number I counted, which is 60. I’ll need one dime.
With my two quarters, awesome work! Finally, we’ll use nickels. Start at 60 cents and skip count by 5 cents: 60 cents, 65 cents—that’s the value! I’ll only need one nickel for 65 cents.
I need two quarters, one dime, and one nickel. Here is 65 cents—one bag of candy, please!
There you go, Digit! Thanks! There are many ways to show money amounts. If you follow these steps, you’ll be a coin counting genius in no time, just like me!
