A quarter had 5 points = 5x5 = 25 A dime = 5x 2 =10 A nickel = 5 x1 = 5 Penny = none
I get that it's counting by 5's, but how do they KNOW where to put the dots? Is it an assigned, logical fact or is it random? It just seems like "touch points" are arbitrarily assigned and the kids just memorized them?
Please forgive my ignorance.
Thanks.
