Money is such a fun thing to teach in the primary grades! I love their imagination when it comes to playing store, and counting out to see who has the most money.
Even though it's a blast to teach, if you do not have the right resources, students may learn surface-level instruction of money. It is my goal to integrate standards whenever possible, and to create a deep-solid foundation where their roots are steadily grounded in the instruction previously taught, before we move on to money.
One thing that students MUST have a solid grasp with before learning money is knowing base ten. They need to make the connection that 1 penny is the same as 1 cube, 1 nickel is the same as 5 cubes, a dime is 1 ten or 1 rod, and a quarter is 2 rods and 5 cubes. If they are going to have success with counting combinations of coins, they will need this knowledge. Enjoy the FREEBIE! below to use as a reference to help your students.

The resources you will see are aligned to the following standards:
**Identify the value of coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters).
**Compute the value of combinations of coins. Includes dime and penny combinations.
**Relate the value of pennies, dimes, and quarters to the dollar (e.g., There are 100 pennies or ten dimes or four quarters in one dollar.) Nickels also included.
Let's start off with identifying coins. I love to start off my unit with this song that my students literally ask me ALL the TIME to play. I don't mind though, it's so catchy!!
Then I move on to teaching the names of the coins and their value using the anchor charts below (comes with all coins). I like to begin teaching coins by having them observe the coins. Sorting them in all possible ways: color, size, texture (some coins have rough edges/smooth), faces, and so on. Then we move onto filling out bubble maps about the coin, drawing the front and back of all coins, and coloring mazes to memorize the face/back of the coin and more!

Puzzles
Once students are familiar with matching the coin to the name, we move onto the value of the coin. Below are just a few preview activities that help students identify coins and their value.
After students have grasped identifying coins and the value we move on to computing the value of coin combination, especially dime and penny combinations. Counting pennies and dimes is a standard with not a lot of resources out there. I made sure to include a variety of dime and penny worksheets and centers.
Base ten rods and cubes become really handy during this time. I relate base ten any time I get when modeling counting coins. I encourage my struggling students to use them in correlation with their money manipualtives.
This activity can be used as a roam the room, reteach at teacher table, or partner work. It also includes optional rigorous questions. I made it for the following combinations: pennies, nickels. dimes, quarter, pennies and dimes.
The following activities are meant for enrichment:
If you want 100% student engagement during small group/partner work this is a student FAVORITE!
Students will roll a dice, move their game piece, count the amount and cover the value. Whoever gets 4 in a row WINS! Made for the following coin combinations: penny, nickel, dime, quarter, penny and dime.
Last, we move onto counting coins to a dollar. I use the following anchor charts to refer back to when teaching coin combinations. Includes all coins.
I have my students make a book to help relate the value of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to a dollar. It's a great resource to refer back to!
Below is a great enrichment activity for teacher table, centers, or partner work:

The last thing you will receive is a TEST that is aligned to all standards.
