This video teaches how to make change using the counting up method instead of subtraction. The idea is to count from the cost of an item up to the amount paid, which helps in calculating change more intuitively.
Example 1:
Item cost: $18.76
Amount paid: $20.00
Counting up:
Add $0.04 → $18.80
Add $0.20 (two dimes) → $19.00
Add $1.00 → $20.00
Total change: $0.04 + $0.20 + $1.00 = $1.24
Example 2:
Meal cost: $11.13
Amount paid: $15.00
Counting up:
Add $0.02 → $11.15
Add $0.10 → $11.25
Add $0.75 (three quarters) → $12.00
Add $3.00 → $15.00
Total change: $0.02 + $0.10 + $0.75 + $3.00 = $3.87
Conclusion:
Using the counting-up method makes giving change simpler and helps avoid subtraction mistakes. The video ends with a positive message: “Kindness multiplies kindness – be kind to someone today.”
