About this worksheet
Counting coins is a second grade skill that needs practice with real values. A penny is one cent, a nickel five, a dime ten and a quarter twenty-five, and children add them by starting with the largest and counting on. Each row on this page shows a few coins, and your child writes the total in cents. The coins are drawn at their real relative sizes, with no value printed on them, so your child learns to tell them apart by sight.
Suggest putting the quarters first, then the dimes, then the nickels, and the pennies last, and counting on out loud: 25, 50, 60, 65, 66. If the count goes wrong, lay out real coins on the table and add them together with your child.
What your child will learn
- Tell a penny, nickel, dime and quarter apart
- Count the value of a group of coins
- Count on from the largest coin
Common Core standard: 2.MD.C.8
Worked example
A quarter, a dime and a nickel are 25 + 10 + 5, or 40 cents.
Common mistake
Counting every coin as one cent instead of using its value.
Helpful hint
Start with the coin worth the most, then count on.
