Today, we’re going to have fun learning about different coins and how much they are worth. Let’s get started!
Here are some coins you might find in your pocket:
Each coin has its own special look. Let’s see what they look like and remember how much they’re worth:
A nickel is small and shiny. It’s worth 5 cents.
A dime is even smaller than a nickel. It’s worth 10 cents.
A quarter is bigger than a nickel and a dime. It’s worth 25 cents.
A half dollar is a big coin. It’s worth 50 cents.
A loonie is a special coin with a bird on it. It’s worth 1 dollar.
A toonie is a big coin with two colors. It’s worth 2 dollars.
In Canada, they don’t make new pennies anymore. Pennies are worth 1 cent, and you might still find some at home, school, or in stores.
Now that you know the coins, you can count money! Try adding up different coins to see how much you have. It’s like a fun puzzle!
Remember, money, money, money in your pocket. Now you know how to count it!
Coin Hunt: Go on a coin hunt at home! Ask your parents or guardians if you can look through their change jar or wallet. Find as many different coins as you can. Once you have a collection, try to identify each coin and say how much it’s worth. Can you find a nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, loonie, and toonie? Arrange them in order from the least to the most valuable.
Coin Rubbing Art: Create a coin rubbing art piece. Place a piece of paper over a coin and gently rub a crayon over it to reveal the coin’s design. Try this with different coins and compare their sizes and designs. Which coin is the smallest? Which one has the most interesting design? Share your artwork with your family and explain what each coin is worth.
Money Math Game: Play a money math game with a friend or family member. Take turns picking a few coins and adding up their total value. For example, if you pick a nickel and a dime, how much money do you have? Try using different combinations of coins. Can you make exactly 50 cents using different coins? How about 1 dollar?
