Goal- You will determine that there are different ways to show a desired amount using coins. You must come up with at least 10 different ways.

Role- You will be a contestant on a game show. You will compete against other contestants to see who can come up with the most ways to show 57 cents using quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies. In order to have a chance of winning, you must show at least 10 different ways to show 57 cents.

Audience- You will be reporting your different coin combinations to the game show host and our class who will be watching the game.

Situation- You are on a game show. The score is tied between you and the other contenders. This is the final question of the game. You must come up with as many ways as you can to show 57 cents using quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies. You will be given 4 different cups. Each cup is filled with either dimes, nickels, quarters, or pennies. Once you have come up with a combination that equals 57 cents, you will place it on a board that has been given to you. Good Luck!

Product/Performance- You will place every combination on a board. You will keep track of all of the combinations to ensure the same combination is not repeated. You will place all combinations on the board from the coin with the highest value to the coin with the least value. You will share your different coin combinations with the game show host. You will explain how you came up with your different combinations.
