Description
The penny is the first coin most children learn, and for good reason: one penny is one cent, so counting pennies is really just counting. This Pennies Circle Worksheet uses that simple fact to build real money sense. First graders circle the pennies that make a given amount, count rows of pennies to find a total, and use what they know to solve a short story problem about a coin purse.
The page works in three steps. First, students look at an amount printed in a blue chip, such as 7¢, and circle exactly that many pennies from a row of ten. Every row holds the same ten pennies, so the child has to count to the target and stop, not guess from the picture. Next, students count three rows of pennies and write the total amount on the line beside each one, using the cent sign. A story problem closes the page: Jesse has 6 pennies in his coin purse and finds 5 more, and students write how much money that is. Every penny is drawn at its true size with its real ONE CENT lettering, so the coins look like the ones in a pocket. A complete answer key is included.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Three circle-the-amount items at 7¢, 3¢ and 6¢
- Three count-the-row items with a Total line for each
- One coin purse story problem with its own answer line
- A full answer key page showing every circled group and every total
Three things make this page helpful. First, it keeps one coin on the table: every coin is a penny, so a child can focus on counting and on writing money with the cent sign. Second, circling to a target turns counting around. Instead of counting to the end of a row, students count up to an amount and stop, which is exactly what paying for something feels like. Third, the story problem asks children to add two groups of pennies, the next step toward counting mixed coins, and the answer key lets them check their own work.
Away from the page, give a child a small cup of real pennies and call out an amount to build, then trade places and let the child call out the amount. Set up a pretend store with price tags under 20¢ and pay with pennies only. Count the pennies in a jar at the end of each week and write the total. Pair this 1st grade money worksheet with a counting song, and the Pennies Circle Worksheet becomes a quick daily warm-up for counting, adding and writing cents.
