Background Information from the Curriculum Framework
- The money system used in the United States consists of coins and bills based on ones, fives, and tens, making it easy to count money.
- The dollar is the basic unit.
- Emphasis is placed on the verbal expression of the symbols for cents and dollars (e.g., $0.35 and 35¢ are both read as “thirty-five cents”; $3.00 is read as “three dollars”).
- Money can be counted by grouping coins and bills to determine the value of each group and then adding to determine the total value.
- The most common way to add amounts of money is to “count on” the amount to be added.
