Counting Coins

Last week we practiced counting all the coins.  We all did a great job!  Are you ready to count a mix of coins today?  When counting a mix of coins, one way to help you is to count from the coin that is worth the most to the one that is worth the least.  Here is a video of me counting some coins.  See how I moved one coin at a time?  Under it is the picture of my coins.

You start off with the quarter, which is worth 25¢.  
When you add a dime, you add 25¢+10¢ to get 35¢. 
Next, you add a nickel to 35¢, 35¢+5¢ is 40¢.  
Finally, you add another nickel.  40¢+5¢ is 45¢.

You have 45¢ in total.

Practice with the following activity sheets.  You can write down the value under each coin to help you count.  If you need actual coins to help you, please ask your parents.  Or, you can always make your own coins!
