About this worksheet

Groups of $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills up to $100.

What kids practice

Second graders count mixed coins up to a dollar, count dollar bills, and solve simple money story problems. Cents are written with ¢ after the number (45¢) and dollars with $ before the number ($5). Decimal money like $1.25 waits until later grades.

Watch for

  • Counting every coin as 1, or counting in the order the coins are lying.
  • Thinking a nickel is worth more than a dime because it is bigger.
  • Mixing up the symbols, like writing $45 for 45¢.

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full money guide for 2nd grade.
