About this worksheet
Groups of coins that include quarters, for kids who are ready for a challenge.
What kids practice
Kids learn to tell the four US coins apart and know what each is worth. A penny is 1 cent, a nickel 5 cents, a dime 10 cents and a quarter 25 cents. Then they count small groups of coins by starting with the biggest one and counting on. Common Core puts coins in 2nd grade (2.MD.C.8), but many first-grade classrooms start them early, so these sheets are a head start.
Watch for
- Thinking a nickel is worth more than a dime because it's bigger.
- Counting each coin as 1 instead of by its value.
- Starting with the pennies, which makes counting on much harder.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full coins guide for 1st grade.
