Subtract a purchase price from the money you have to find how much change is left. Compare prices to decide which item is the most expensive you can afford with a set amount of money. Work with dollars and cents together and keep the decimal in the right place when subtracting. Read money amounts in a shopping-style problem and pick the correct operation to solve it.
Match a money amount in cents to a set of coins by drawing the right coins. Practice adding coin values (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters) to make a total within $1.00. Get faster at recognizing how much common coins are worth without counting by ones every time. Use different coin combinations to represent the same amount.
Read a picture of coins and bills to figure out how much money was paid. Subtract the cost from the amount paid to find the correct change. Work with dollars and cents written as decimals when doing money subtraction.
