A dime represents 10 cents and a penny represents 1 cent, so an amount can be composed as groups of ten cents and leftover ones, such as 3 dimes and 4 pennies equaling 34 cents. The learner connects coin collections, counting by tens and ones, and equations such as , understanding that different collections can represent the same amount; decimal notation, larger denominations, and amounts beyond this foundational range are not included.
