Max's Math: Counting Coins


	Counting Coins
	I counted pennies, "1, 2, 3, 4" to 100, one by one. "I know more ways to count," said Ruth. "In fact, I know a ton!" She counted my pennies, "2, 4, 6, 8," up to 100 by 2's. "Counting this way is great," she said. "You will never lose!" I counted, "5, 10, 15, 20." Yes, I counted up by 5. And at 100 pennies, I quickly did arrive. Ruthie took back my pennies and counted them by 10 — "10, 20, 30, 40," up to 100 once again! So count pennies by 1's, 2's, 5's, or 10's — any way you pick. It's not hard to remember. There is no special trick! Count them by yourself, or count them with a friend — If you have one dollar's worth, you'll reach 100 in the end!
