Description
This Counting Coins Worksheet helps first graders count mixed groups of pennies, nickels and dimes. Every coin is drawn at its true size and color, and each row lines the coins up from largest value to smallest, so children practice counting on by tens, then by fives, then by ones. This Counting Coins Worksheet builds the money sense young learners need before they add coins in real life.
Part A has four rows of coins. Students count each row and write the total in cents on the line. Part B shows the same row of dimes, nickels and pennies twice, next to an amount. Children circle just the coins that make that amount, which asks them to think about value instead of simply counting everything. Part C is a short story problem about buying a ball. This 1st grade money worksheet works well for a math center, small group lesson, morning work or homework.
What’s Included
- Four rows of mixed pennies, nickels and dimes to count
- Two circle-the-coins problems that match a price
- One money story problem with an answer line
- A complete answer key on the second page
- A printable PDF sized for standard letter paper
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Coins look real. True sizes and colors help children tell a dime from a penny and a nickel.
- Counting on becomes a habit. Largest-first rows teach kids to start with dimes and count up.
- Value matters more than count. Circling coins to make an amount shows that a small dime is worth more than a big nickel.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
- Let students sort a handful of real coins into pennies, nickels and dimes before they start.
- Count row 1 aloud together: ten, twenty, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven.
- Set up a pretend store and have children pay for small items with coins.
- Ask students to draw their own coin row and trade with a partner to count.
