·        Students practice making change with coins by counting up to the amount given. For example, if the bill is $1.73, and $2.00 is the amount given, the students would count up to $2.00 by starting with two pennies and saying, "$1.74" and "$1.75"; then they add one quarter to bring the total to $2.00. They would then count this change to find its value of $0.27.
