Yes they do Abe and I bet we can put that together with counting by fives to help kids count us when we are in a group. You know Thomas, bugs have antennae. They are those little things that stick up on their heads. Because they like a lot of the same things they were able to come up with a way to help kids like you count groups of coins.
Hey guys, I have an idea! What if WE had antennas?!?! Each antennae can be worth 5 cents and kids can count by fives to figure out our value when we are in a group. It could work. That’s a great idea George!
The presidents were on to something! When a coin has antennas you can count by fives to find out how much it is worth and use the antennas to count a group of coins too! This will make counting money so easy!!
5 antennas! 10 15 20 5 25 The quarter is worth 25 cents so how many antennas will it need? Let’s count by fives! George looks like a bug!
2 antennas! 5 10 The dime is worth 10 cents so how many antennae will it have? Let’s count by fives!
5 Only 1 Antenna! The nickel is worth 5 cents so how many antennae will it have? Let’s count by fives!
UH OH!! Pennies do not get an antenna because it is only worth 1 cent! I want to look like a bug too! We can count pennies just as they are! The penny is worth 1 cent so how many antennas will it have? Let’s count by fives!
Now you can practice drawing antennas on your coins to help you count them!
