What children learn in Level 59
- Money is what we use to buy goods and services. In the United States, we use coins and dollar bills.
- Here are four coins: a penny, a nickel, a dime, and a quarter. Coins are made of metal.
- The penny is copper-colored, with Abraham Lincoln on it. New pennies aren't made anymore, but pennies are still money. The quarter is the biggest, and the dime is the smallest.
- Dollar bills are paper money. The one-dollar bill has George Washington on it.
- Try it with a grown-up! Sort some coins into pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.
