Coins

We had our first lesson over money.  During our lesson, I introduced the use of touch points on coins.  Below is a picture of the points.  If a student knows how to count by fives, he/she can add any amount of coins!  I do not require students to use touch points; it is just a strategy I introduce for students who have a difficult time adding the mixed values.  My hope is that the points are not needed after students have more practice counting coins.
