Today Patrick and I played Coin Tic-Tac-Toe. In this game you must match a value to a coin. Patrick really enjoyed it. It is helping him with coin recognition. Next we practiced counting mixed change. I modeled classifying mixed change by coin, starting with the largest value and then adding on. He did well with this. I gave him a hundred's chart to refer to, which seemed to give him the confidence he needed:) He is fluent counting by 1's, 10's and 5's, so I know it will just be a matter of time before he is fluent counting mixed change:)
