About this worksheet
Mixed coins in no order, totaling less than a dollar.
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.
