What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 1 to 4.
A careful solution takes 3 written steps on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 100% of the problems: the coins were counted rather than added up; each kind is worth a different number of cents.
Answers are an amount with two decimal places.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 16 different ones, 7% — so a sheet of 20 will come back to a problem you have seen — there are only so many sensible ones of this kind.

The same skill, harder or easier

We would put this in front of a grade 3 class. That is our judgement, not a standard, and it is printed here so you can disagree with it. Everything else we put in that year.
