This math skill teaches how to calculate the total value of different stacks of coins. It involves identifying the coin type and its value, counting the number of coins in each stack, and multiplying to find the sum of each stack before adding them together for the total value.
🎙️
What is the total value of these piles of coins?
🎙️
The first stack is 2 nickels, each worth 5 cents, so we have 5 plus 5, or 10 cents in that stack
🎙️
The second stack is 3 dimes, each worth 10 cents, so we have 10 plus 10 plus 10, or 30 cents in that stack
🎙️
The total is our 10 cents of nickels plus our 30 cents of dimes, or a total of 40 cents
