Introduction

This activity will introduce the four most common coins in regular usage in the United States and also the uncommon half dollar. You will learn to identify each coin and the related value of each coin. You will then demonstrate different ways to combine coins to reach a certain value and to be able to count change from $1.00.

 Activity
      1.  Study Coin Sheet . Then print and do the Matching Sheet by drawing lines from the word to the coin and the amount to the coin. Practice writing the name and values on the sheet.

       2.  When making change, start at the amount which is needed to pay and  count up to the amount you give. For example, if an item costs $0.60, and you give a dollar, you start counting at $0.60.... to 70 (one dime or plus 10)... to 75 (one nickel or plus 5) to $1.00  (one quarter or plus 25). Do the  Counting Activity Sheet.
