Five pages on dollar bills and on writing money. On page 1 students write what each bill is worth with the dollar sign, then count rows of $5, $10 and $20 bills by 5s, 10s and 20s, writing the count under each bill, and count on through a row of mixed bills. Page 2 has eight collections of $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills up to $100, laid out biggest first; the first shows how to count on. On page 3 two children each have some bills: students write both totals and circle the one with more, including pairs where fewer bills are worth more. Page 4 shows an amount with the fewest bills in a table, then circles the group of bills that pays a price exactly. Page 5 asks whether an amount is written with ¢ (coins under a dollar) or with $ (bills), then writes cents with a dollar sign and a decimal point: 100¢ is $1.00 and 45¢ is $0.45.
Use play bills for page 1: line up four $5 bills and count them together, 5, 10, 15, 20, then trade them for a $20 bill. Before page 3, hold up one $20 bill and five $1 bills and ask who has more money; many children pick the bigger pile. Play store for page 4 with price tags in whole dollars and a tray of play bills.
Count the bills in a wallet or a play money set together, starting with the bill worth the most. Ask which is more, a $10 bill or six $1 bills. When you see a price like $0.79 at the store, read it together as 79 cents.

Dollar bills and writing money amounts with $ and ¢. Students count $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills up to $100, compare two collections, show amounts with the fewest bills and write cents with a dollar sign, like 45¢ is $0.45.
