Making Change: The American Way
Cashiers in the US often count change up from the purchase price to the amount paid. This method helps avoid mistakes and teaches mental math skills.
Example: Purchase $7.32, Customer pays $10.00
Count up from $7.32 to $10.00:
- $7.32 → $7.35 (3 pennies)
- $7.35 → $7.40 (1 nickel)
- $7.40 → $7.50 (1 dime)
- $7.50 → $8.00 (2 quarters)
- $8.00 → $10.00 (2 one-dollar bills)
Total change: $2.68 (3¢ + 5¢ + 10¢ + 50¢ + $2.00)

Teaching Tips for Parents & Teachers
💵 Use Real or Play Money
Let children handle actual coins and bills (or realistic play money). Physical manipulation builds understanding faster than worksheets alone.
🏪 Practice at Real Stores
At the grocery store or gas station, let your child pay the cashier and count the change. Real-world application cements learning.
🎯 Master Coin Values First
Before adding mixed coins, ensure students know penny=1¢, nickel=5¢, dime=10¢, quarter=25¢. Automatic recall is essential.
💰 Connect to Allowance
Use allowance as a teaching tool. Help children save for goals, budget for purchases, and track their money over time.
