A mixed pile of 2 quarters, 3 dimes and 4 nickels is lined up with the coins worth the most first, then counted on one coin at a time (25, 50, 60, 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100) and checked with 50¢ + 30¢ + 20¢ = 100¢. It then shows that the same 100 cents can also be made with 4 quarters or 1 loonie, and ends with the recap: count the coins worth the most first, then count on.

What the lesson says

How much money is in this pile of coins?

Line them up. Put the coins worth the most first.

Quarters first. Each one is 25 cents: 25, 50.

Then dimes. Each is 10 cents. Count on: 60, 70, 80.

Then nickels. Each is 5 cents. Count on: 85, 90, 95, 100.

We stopped at 100. The coins make 100 cents.

Let's check. Quarters make 50 cents. Dimes make 30. Nickels make 20.

50 plus 30 plus 20 is 100 cents.

There are many ways to make 100 cents.

Four quarters make 100 cents: 25, 50, 75, 100.

One loonie is worth 100 cents too.

Count the coins worth the most first, then count on.
