About this resource
Description
Counting a handful of change is one of the first real-life math skills a child learns, and this Penny Nickel Dime Worksheet gives first graders focused practice with the three smallest coins. Every coin on the page is drawn at its true size and color, so the copper penny, the silver nickel and the small ridged dime look the way they do in a real piggy bank. Children learn to count on by ones for pennies, by fives for nickels and by tens for dimes, and to put those counts together to reach a price.
This printable 1st grade money worksheet has two short parts. First, the child reads a price tag, counts three sets of coins and fills in the bubble next to the set that matches the price. Then the child reads about a toy, its price and how many coins to use, and draws those coins in an empty box with the letters P, N and D from the coin key at the top of the page. Because the number of coins is given, each toy has one correct answer, so the sheet is quick to check. Use it for morning work, a math center, homework or a quick review before a money unit test.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- A penny, nickel and dime coin key
- 4 match-the-price questions and 3 draw-the-coins toy problems
There are three reasons this Penny Nickel Dime Worksheet helps kids. It builds coin recognition by size, color and edge instead of by memorized pictures. It turns counting by ones, fives and tens into a skill with a purpose, since every total pays for something. And drawing a fixed number of coins pushes children to think about which coins to choose, which is the same reasoning they use when they pay at a store.
Teachers and parents can stretch the lesson with real coins. Set out a small pile of pennies, nickels and dimes and let children act out each toy problem before they draw it. Make a pretend store with price tags under 30 cents and take turns being the shopper and the cashier. You can also ask children to find a second way to make a price when the number of coins is not given, then compare answers with a partner.
