Counting Change - Presentation

Use this presentation when exploring the concept of money and counting large quantities of mixed notes and coins, writing the total using dollars and cents, and recognising the cents as parts of the next dollar. The presentation explores comparing the way money and measures are read and said and how they are the same and different. This presentation has been created as part of our Money Mania unit plan.
