Coins and what they are worth

The dime is the smallest coin and worth twice the nickel, so the first pair catches almost everyone once — and the second pair is the ordinary way round, so circling the bigger coin every time does not work. In the last job, count out loud — five, ten, fifteen, twenty — because that is the Grade 1 skill doing the work: skip counting by 5s and 10s, applied to coins. A handful of mixed coins is not a Grade 1 question: Alberta first counts a collection at all in Grade 2, and only of one denomination; mixed nickels, dimes and quarters is Grade 3.
