From our teachers' playbook

Cha-ching! Count those coins!

What do 2nd graders learn about money?

Second graders learn to count and add coins and dollar bills to solve word problems. They know the value of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters, count mixed coins starting with the biggest, and write amounts with $ and ¢: 2 quarters + 3 dimes = 80¢. They figure out totals, compare prices and talk about spending and saving. The click moment comes when a child sorts a pile of coins and counts "25, 50, 60, 65, 66" without missing a beat.

Our favorite ways to make money stick

Money makes math real. These moves build counting skills and good money sense.

Coin flash round

Flash coin cards and kids call out the name and value. Then show two coins and ask for the total. Two minutes a day builds speedy recognition, which makes counting mixed coins much easier.

Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Explain your count

Give partners a handful of coins and have them explain their counting strategy: "I started with the quarters because they're worth the most." Talking about strategies helps kids find efficient ways to count.

Why it works: using clear, consistent math words out loud is one of the U.S. Department of Education's recommendations for elementary math.

Open a classroom store

Price classroom items and give kids play money to shop with. They figure out the total and pay. Real buying and selling gives money math a purpose kids love.

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What money skills should 2nd graders know?

Second graders should identify coins and bills, know their values, count mixed coins and bills, use $ and ¢ symbols, and solve word problems with money.

How do I teach counting coins?

Start with the coin worth the most and count on: quarters by 25, dimes by 10, nickels by 5 and pennies by 1. Practice with real coins as often as you can.

Why is counting money hard for kids?

Coin size doesn't match value, like a dime being smaller than a nickel but worth more. Kids also have to switch between skip counting patterns.

How can I practice money at home?

Let your child pay for small items at the store, count the change jar together, or play store at home with real coins.
