What is $100?

"$100 is like having 100 pieces of candy, but instead of eating them all at once, you can save some for later or trade them for bigger treats."

Imagine you have a big jar full of coins, and each coin has the number "1" on it. If you have 100 coins in that jar, that’s $100, just like having 100 pieces of candy.

• It could be enough to buy a brand-new toy.
• Or maybe you can trade it for a week’s worth of snacks at the school canteen.
• Some people use $100 to pay for something big, like a movie ticket and popcorn for everyone in your class!

Think of $100 as a special kind of counting tool. When you count money, each coin or bill is a "helper" that makes it easier to know how much you have, like having 100 little helpers all working together!"$100 is like having 100 pieces of candy, but instead of eating them all at once, you can save some for later or trade them for bigger treats."
