Counting coins and bills, and solving story problems with money using ¢ and $.
Make a sheetDownload PDFThe PDF has this sheet, its answer key and a guide for grown-ups.
To count coins, start with the biggest and count on: 25, 35, 40, 41. For stories, decide whether money is added or taken away, then write the answer with ¢ or $.
Watch for: Counting each coin as 1, or by its size: a dime is smaller than a nickel but worth more. Counting on by the wrong amount: two dimes and two pennies are 10, 20, 21, 22, not 30. Leaving off the ¢ or $ sign.
At home: Empty a pocket or a jar of coins and count them together, biggest coins first. Then pay for something small with exact change.
