Sort real coins first
Before any worksheet, hand kids a cup of real or play coins to sort by type. Ask them to describe each one: color, size, edges, pictures. Once they can tell coins apart by touch and look, values come much easier.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.
