4 Quarters in a Dollar
This song focuses on counting quarters within a dollar. The song begins with, "1, 2, 3,4 quarters in a dollar". It goes on to sing the amounts as each quarter is added to equal a dollar (.25, .50, .75, 1.00). You and your students will have this song in your head way after the school day is over! :)

General Knowledge Song 3
This song is from a (growing) series of songs that teach trivial knowledge.
You will like to listen to them, because they are good songs (hopefully you´ll agree) and as a nice side effect internalize the facts taught in the song.
Your students will love this new way of learning, especially because they can listen to the songs while they are out and about.
