Can I just say it took me about 2 minutes to figure out that you are from Australia. :lol: I went from concern to, "huh, about 1/5 of a gumball if she's thinking about what it will buy but how is that mathematical?" back to concern... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 LOL. Here he can memorize the poems we use with our children. :lol::lol: Penny, Penny Easily spent Copper, brown And worth one cent. Nickel, Nickel Thick and fat You’re worth five cents, I know that. Dime, Dime, Little and thin I remember You’re worth ten. Quarter, Quarter Big and Bold You’re worth 25, I’m told.

MyLittleWonders Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Or, you can sing: A penny's worth one cent, a penny's worth one cent, (hold up 1 finger) A nickel's worth five, a nickel's worth five; (hold up 5) A dime is worth ten cents, a dime is worth ten cents, (hold up 10 fingers) A quarter's twenty-five, a quarter's twenty-five. (quickly try to make 25 fingers - 10, 10, and 5 before you finish the line!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
