2-min Fluency Warm-up — How many make a dollar?
___ quarters = $1
___ dimes = $1
___ nickels = $1
___ pennies = $1
100¢ = $1.00 (one dollar). We write dollars with a $ and a dot: $1.25 means 1 dollar and 25 cents. Bills come in $1, $5, $10, and $20.
$1 bill + 1 quarter = $.
(1 dollar and 25 cents)
$5 bill + 1 dime = $.
(5 dollars and 10 cents)
$1 bill + 3 dimes = $.
(1 dollar and 30 cents)
$10 bill + 1 nickel = $.
(10 dollars and 5 cents)
