Make amounts with pennies

A penny represents one cent, so an amount made only with pennies has the same numerical value as the number of pennies, typically within 20 cents. The learner connects one-to-one counting, numerals, and the cent symbol to understand that adding or removing a penny changes an amount by exactly one cent; combining coin denominations, making change, and representing dollars or decimal money are not included.

Detailed Explanation: Make amounts with pennies

A penny is worth 1 cent. To find the value of pennies, count them one at a time. The number of pennies is the same as the number of cents.

Example: How much are 7 pennies?

  1. Count the pennies:
    (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
  2. There are 77 pennies.
  3. Each penny is worth 11 cent, so the amount is 77 cents.
  4. Write 77 cents as 7¢\boxed{7\text{¢}}.

So, 7 pennies make (7¢)(7\text{¢}).
