Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to have fun counting coins. Before we start, let’s remember how much each coin is worth in the United States.
Our first coin is a penny, and it’s worth 1 cent. Next, we have a nickel, which is worth 5 cents. Then, there’s the dime, and it’s worth 10 cents. Finally, the biggest coin is a quarter, and it’s worth 25 cents.
Now, let’s use this information to help us with our worksheet. We need to match the set of coins on the right with the number of cents on the left. Let’s get started!
Our first task is to find 23 cents. Let’s count the first set of coins. Always start with the biggest coin. Here, we see a quarter, which is 25 cents. That’s too much, but let’s count all the coins to be sure. We have a quarter, a nickel (5 cents), and three pennies.
Adding them up: 5 + 5 = 10, plus 1 + 1 + 1 = 12. That’s 32 cents, which is not correct.
Let’s check the next group. We see two dimes, which make 20 cents, and three pennies, which add 3 cents.
Adding them: 10 + 10 = 20, plus 1 + 1 + 1 = 23. Yay! We found 23 cents in the second group.
Next, we need to find 7 cents. Start with the biggest coin. We see a nickel (5 cents) and two pennies.
Adding them: 5 + 1 + 1 = 7. That’s our goal!
Let’s check the other group. We see a dime (10 cents), a nickel (5 cents), and a penny (1 cent). Adding them: 10 + 5 + 1 = 16. That’s too much, so the first group is correct.
Now, let’s find 16 cents. Start with the biggest coin. We have a dime (10 cents), a nickel (5 cents), and a penny (1 cent).
Adding them: 10 + 5 + 1 = 16. That’s correct!
Check the second group. We see two quarters, which make 50 cents, plus one penny. That’s too much, so the first group is right.
Finally, let’s find 40 cents. In the first group, we see a quarter (25 cents), two dimes (10 cents each), and a nickel (5 cents).
Adding them: 25 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 50. That’s too much.
Check the second group. We see a quarter (25 cents), a dime (10 cents), and a nickel (5 cents).
Adding them: 25 + 10 + 5 = 40. Perfect!
Remember, to count coins correctly, start with the biggest coin, line them up, and add them together. Great job, everyone! See you next time!
Coin Hunt at Home: Ask an adult to help you gather some coins from around the house. Try to find at least one of each type: penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. Once you have your coins, practice counting them. Can you make 15 cents? How about 30 cents? Try to make different amounts and see how many combinations you can find!
Coin Rubbing Art: Take a piece of paper and place it over a coin. Use a crayon or pencil to gently rub over the coin to create an impression on the paper. Do this with different coins and label each rubbing with the coin’s name and value. This will help you remember what each coin looks like and how much it’s worth.
Shopping Game: Pretend you’re at a store with a friend or family member. Use your coins to “buy” items around the house. For example, a toy might cost 12 cents, or a book might be 18 cents. Count out the correct amount of coins to “pay” for each item. This will help you practice counting and using coins in real-life situations.

Today, we’re going to be counting some coins. But before we start counting, let’s remind ourselves of the value of each coin in the United States.
Our first coin is a penny, which is worth one cent. Our next coin is a nickel, and it’s worth five cents. The third coin is a dime, which is worth ten cents. Lastly, our biggest coin is a quarter, and it is worth 25 cents.
Let’s use this information to help us complete our worksheet. We’ll read the directions and get started right away. We need to settle the set of coins on the right that equals the cents on the left.
For today’s worksheet, we’ll count both sets of coins to ensure we have the right answer. Let’s get started!
Our first problem wants us to find 23 cents. I know that when I add up my coins, I want a total of 23 cents. Let’s count the first set of coins. I always want to start with the biggest coin.
In this problem, I see a quarter, which is worth 25 cents. So, I already think this isn’t the right answer, but let’s count all the coins just to be sure. I have a quarter, a nickel (worth five cents), and three pennies.
If I add these up: 5 plus 5 is 10, plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 gives me 12. To write 12, I put 2 in the ones place and carry over 1 to the tens place. Adding 2 plus 1 gives me 3, so the first group of coins totals 32 cents. That’s not correct.
Let’s check the next group of coins. Again, we’ll start with the biggest coins. In this problem, I see two dimes. If I add those, I get 20 cents. Now I see three pennies, which gives me 3 cents.
Adding these up: 10 plus 10 is 20, plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 gives me 23. So, we have our total of 23 cents in the second group of coins.
Now, let’s take a look at the next example. In this example, we have a goal of 7 cents. Starting with the biggest coins, I see a nickel, which is worth 5 cents, and two pennies.
If I add these: 5 plus 1 plus 1 gives me 7. That’s our goal! Now, let’s check the other group of coins.
In the second group, I see a dime (worth 10 cents), a nickel (worth 5 cents), and a penny (worth 1 cent). Adding these gives me 10 plus 5 plus 1, which totals 16 cents. That’s too much, so the first group of coins represents 7 cents.
For our third example, we have a goal of 16 cents. Let’s count the first group of coins again, starting with the biggest coin. We have a dime (10 cents), a nickel (5 cents), and a penny (1 cent).
Adding these: 10 plus 5 plus 1 gives us 16 cents. That seems correct! Now, let’s check the second group of coins.
In the second group, I have two quarters, which totals 50 cents, plus one penny. That’s way too much, so the first group of coins represents 16 cents.
For our last problem, we have a goal of 40 cents. In the first group, I see a quarter (25 cents), two dimes (10 cents each), and one nickel (5 cents).
Adding these: 25 plus 10 plus 10 plus 5 gives us 50 cents. That’s too much. Let’s check the second group of coins.
In the second group, I see a quarter (25 cents), a dime (10 cents), and a nickel (5 cents). Adding these gives me 25 plus 10 plus 5, which totals 40 cents.
So, the second set of coins is the correct representation. Remember, everyone, to remind yourself how much each coin is worth, line them up using place value, and add the coins together to count them correctly.
