About this resource

Description

The Find the Total Amount Worksheet gives second graders real coins to count and a total to write for each one. Every item shows a drawn set of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters at their true relative sizes, so a student has to recognize each coin before adding it. That one change is the whole point: a child who only reads the words “three nickels” never learns to pick a nickel out of a handful of change.

The sheet moves in three steps. Four warm up items ask for the total price of a single coin set. Two more items put two sets side by side with a plus sign between them, so students add one pile to another the way they would at a school store. A short story problem finishes the page and asks what one pencil cost. This Find the Total Amount Worksheet keeps every total under a dollar, which is exactly where second grade money work sits, and an answer key is included.

What’s Included

  • Four coin sets to add, each with its own total line
  • Two two-set addition items with a printed plus sign
  • One school store story problem with a written answer line
  • Accurately drawn pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters at true relative size
  • A complete answer key on the second page

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

  • It teaches coin recognition and addition at the same time, instead of one without the other.
  • It builds a counting order students can reuse, starting with the largest coin and working down.
  • It connects classroom math to something children already do, which is paying for small things.

Teachers and parents can stretch this page in a few ways. Hand out real coins and let students build each set before they add it. Ask a student to say the running total out loud as they touch each coin, which turns the page into a fluency drill. Use the two set items to talk about buying two things at once, and use the story problem as a quick exit ticket. Because it is a 2nd grade money worksheet, it also works well as a first check before a unit on making change.
