Identify the name and value of U.S. coins and dollar bills. Use color and size to distinguish coins and learn comparison words such as "larger", "smaller", "largest", and "smallest". Calculate the value of groups of coins, and compare using the greater than (>), less than (<), or equal (=) symbol.
Introduce coins using real or plastic coins, and pictures of coins. Focus on color and size. Which coins are silver in color? Which coin is not silver? Which coin is the largest? Which coin is the smallest? Which is larger, a nickel or a penny? Which is smaller, a penny or a dime? Introduce and use comparison words. Prerequisites: K-1
Enrich by introducing money. Identify pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and $1 bills. Group coins by color, and order coins by size. Identify the U.S Presidents – Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, and George Washington. Explore using real and plastic coins, as well as online, digital coins. Prerequisites: K-4
Enrich by learning the value of a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and 1-dollar bill, in cents (¢). Discover the pattern with pennies, nickels, and quarters. As their size increases, their value increases. Dimes are tricky because they do not follow the pattern. They are smaller than pennies and nickels, but have a larger value. Prerequisites: K-119
