Tips For Teaching Students How Count Pennies - Do you have a jar of loose change, and you are dreading to count the amount? Well, words of advice, the amount is only going to increase, and you might as well want to start now. Do not worry; we can help you count! Here is what you need to do: The first step you need to take is to gather all your coins together. Empty your jars, your money houses, your pockets, or any other places where you keep your coins. Now, start separating the coins based on types. Make individual stacks of dimes, quarters, dollars, and so on. Take one pile at a time. Let's say that you are working on dollars, then make sure that you pay attention to the dollar pile only. Forget that there are other stacks of coins lying there as well. After you have chosen which stack to count first, start making piles of 10. It is easy to count and multiply. If the stacks have coins less than 10, just make one stack. Write down the number of stacks you have. Multiply the number of stacks with 10. Then multiply the number of coins with the coin's value. Now add the number of coins that didn't make stacks of 10. Keep repeating this method for each coin stack. Add the final number of each stack to get the final amount.
