About This Practice

Counting coins is a real-life money skill. The trick is to start with the biggest values: each tap adds that coin's value to the total, like 25¢ plus 10¢ becoming 35¢. When every coin is counted, pick the total from four choices to check yourself. Guided level uses one kind of coin, while Standard and Challenge mix them — how far can you go?

Count a handful of coins: tap them one by one from the biggest value, watch the running total grow, then pick the right amount from four choices.
