How to use this sheet
- Have real coins on the table and sort them by kind before counting.
- Count the coins worth the most first, then count on with the others.
- Work on the skip counts the coins need: by 25s, 10s, 5s and 1s.
Common mistakes
- Thinking the bigger coin is worth more. A dime is smaller than a nickel or a penny but worth more.
- Counting the number of coins instead of their value, so 3 dimes is 3 cents.
- Mixing up nickels and quarters. Look at the size and the edge: a quarter is bigger and has ridges.
