Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Recognize US coin names and their cent values.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Model the target skill: identify values of pennies (1¢), nickels (5¢), dimes (10¢), and quarters (25¢). Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
  2. Check readiness first: Recognize US coin names and their cent values.
  3. Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: A coin's physical size does not determine its value; count cents rather than the number of coins.

A common mistake to discuss

A coin's physical size does not determine its value; count cents rather than the number of coins.

What to practice next

Find two different coin combinations with the same total value.
