Description
Reading a price in words and writing it in numbers is one of the most useful money skills a second grader can practise, and this Whats the Price Worksheet makes it the whole point of the page. A child who can turn six dollars and fifty cents into $6.50 can read a menu, a receipt or a shelf tag, and can write an amount that anyone else will read the same way. The tricky parts are the ones this page targets: where the dollar sign goes, where the point goes, and what to do when there are no dollars at all or fewer than ten cents.
The first section gives a worked example and then five items for sale, each with its price spelled out in words. Students write the matching amount on the line using a dollar sign and a point. The set is chosen on purpose: one price has no dollars, one has no cents, and one has a single-digit cents amount that needs a zero to hold the tens place. The second section shows three groups of real coins drawn at true mint size, so a dime really is smaller than a penny and a quarter really is the biggest. Students count each group and write the total as a price. A full answer key is included on the last page.
What’s Included
- A worked example showing the dollar sign and the point in place
- Five price-in-words items with roomy writing lines
- Three coin groups drawn to real United States mint proportions
- Original artwork of a craft-fair stall that matches an item on the page
- A complete answer key on the final page
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It practises the two hardest cases directly: no dollars, and cents under ten.
- The coins are drawn at true relative size, so students sort them by looking, not by guessing.
- Writing the amount is a real-world task, not an exercise students will only meet at school.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this Whats the Price Worksheet to open a money unit, or as a quick check after a lesson on decimals in money. Read the example aloud together and point at the dollar sign and the point before students start. When the page is finished, hand out real coins and ask students to build one of the prices from the first section, which turns the two halves of the sheet into one activity. A grocery flyer works well as an extension: students find three prices, read them aloud in words, then write them in numbers. Anyone hunting for a 2nd grade money worksheet that covers both writing amounts and counting coins can use this one on its own or as homework.
