Students identify pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and a one-dollar bill and match each with its value: 1, 5, 10, 25, and 100 cents. They count and compose whole-cent amounts using equal groups and simple mixed collections, including pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, typically within 100 cents, while recognizing that different combinations can have the same value. They compare money amounts and choose coin combinations for small purchases by using counting, skip-counting, addition, and the symbols >, <, and =.
