Counting Coins

In this book Millie the Mathematician helps us learn to skip count as she helps Erin to count the money she has saved. Millie and Erin sort and group Australian coins: one-dollar coins, two-dollar coins, five-cent coins and ten-cent coins. Millie then helps Erin to count her money by skip counting in twos, fives and tens. This book addresses content from the Number and Algebra strand within the Number and place value sub-strand. The main Australian Curriculum content descriptor addressed is: “Develop confidence with number sequences to and from 100 by ones from any starting point.  Skip count by twos, fives and tens starting from zero.”
