ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 Let’s Learn about Coins and Their Values. Counting for Children. Math for 1st Grade
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have a fun time learning about coins and counting them. Let’s imagine we have some cute little monsters who need our help to count their coins. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Our first monster has some coins, and we need to find out how much money he has. Let’s look at his coins:
Now, let’s add them up! First, we add 5 (nickel) + 25 (quarter) = 30. Then, we add 1 (penny) to 30, which makes 31 cents. Great job! Let’s circle 31.
Next, we have a purple monster with some coins. Let’s see what he has:
Let’s add them up! First, 5 (nickel) + 25 (quarter) = 30 cents. Yay! Let’s circle 30.
Now, let’s help our pink monster count his coins. He has:
Let’s add them together! First, 25 (quarter) + 1 (penny) = 26 cents. Awesome! Let’s circle 26.
Finally, we have an orange monster with some coins. Let’s see what he has:
Let’s add them up! First, 10 (dime) + 5 (nickel) = 15. Then, add 25 (quarter) to 15, which makes 40 cents. Fantastic! Let’s circle 40.
Thanks for helping our little monsters count their coins. You did an amazing job! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a coin-counting expert in no time. See you next time for more fun learning adventures. Bye!
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 just like you did with the monsters. Can you find a way to make 31 cents, 30 cents, 26 cents, and 40 cents using different combinations of your coins? Share your findings with a family member!
Coin Rubbing Art: Create a fun piece of art using coins! Place a piece of paper over a coin and gently rub a crayon over it to make a coin rubbing. Try this with different coins and see if you can make a rubbing of each type. Once you have all your rubbings, label them with their values and add them up to see how much money you have in your artwork.
Story Time with Coins: Imagine you are a little monster who found a treasure chest full of coins. Write a short story or draw a picture about what you would do with the coins. How would you count them? What would you buy? Share your story or drawing with your class or family and see what fun ideas everyone comes up with!

Welcome to Kids Academy! Hello everyone! Let’s open the worksheet. Don’t forget to like this video and subscribe to our channel. You can find the link to this app in the comments below.
Today, let’s take a look at our worksheet. Our directions say to count the value of coins and circle the number that equals this amount. So, let’s take a look at our first little monster over here and see how many coins he has.
I’m going to write down how much each one of these coins is worth. The first one is a nickel, which is worth five cents. The next one is a quarter, and that one is worth 25 cents. The last one is a penny, which is worth one cent.
Now, let’s add these up together. I’ve got five plus five, which is ten, and one more is eleven. So, I’m going to carry the one and add this up. Two plus one is three, so my answer is 31 cents. Let’s go ahead and circle that.
The next one is our purple little monster. Let’s see how much he has. It looks like he’s got one nickel and one quarter. A nickel is worth five cents, and a quarter is worth 25 cents. So, let’s add these up together. Five plus five is ten, so I’m going to put the zero and carry the one. Then, two plus one is three, so we’ve got 30 cents. Let’s find 30 and circle it. Great job!
Now, we’re going to move on to the next one. We’ve got our pink little monster here. He has a quarter and a penny in his hand. A quarter is worth 25 cents, and a penny is worth one cent. So, let’s add these up together. Five plus one is six, and then we bring down the two, which equals 26. Let’s circle the 26. Nice job!
Finally, we have our orange little monster. Let’s see what he has. We’ve got a dime, a nickel, and a quarter. A dime is worth 10 cents, the quarter is worth 25 cents, and the nickel is worth five cents.
Let’s add these up together. Five plus five is ten, plus zero we don’t count, so we just leave it as ten. Carry the one over here, and then we add this up together: two plus three is four. So, we’ve got 40 cents. Now, let’s find 40 and circle it. Nice job!
Thanks for trying this with me! See you next time! Bye!
