To provide students with practice finding the coin combination to make a certain amount of money.

Materials Needed:

1.      Match Game for each student

2.      Maybe fake or real money

Explanation/Summary:

Students will match money amounts to the way the amount can be represented with coins. They will either work individually or with a partner to match each card up. Each card uses the least amount of coins possible to make the amount. Students may want to use a manipulative of real or fake money to make the amount and then find the card that matches that.
