About Comparing Money Amounts
What this skill is
Comparing money requires finding the total value of two different coin or bill sets and evaluating which amount represents greater purchasing power.
When children learn it
Taught in 2nd and 3rd grade under money and measurement standards (CCSS 2.MD.C.8).
Teaching Tips
- Have your child write the total cent value above each coin group first (e.g., write "45¢" and "50¢") before drawing the comparison alligator symbol.
Common Mistakes
- Counting the total number of coins rather than their monetary value (thinking 4 nickels is more than 1 quarter).
- Arithmetic slips while counting coin values mentally.
- Drawing comparison symbols backwards.
