Description:
Early elementary students will examine the features and values of pennies, nickels, and dimes.
Description:
Students will correctly identify the each coin's value, and will add pennies and nickels to arrive at a designated amount.
Description:
Students will practice counting by 10s, 5s, and 1s in order to prepare for counting and adding the values of coins.
Description:
Students will add pennies, nickels and dimes and will organize the coins to display a variety of price values from real life examples.
Description:
Students will apply their knowledge of adding coins to a real life situation when they create different coin combinations to buy their daily snack.
Description:
Students will use coins to help them explore the sun as a source of renewable energy.
Description:
Students will use their abilities to recognize coins and their values in this game that focuses on locomotor skills (skip, slide, gallop, run, jump). This game also requires students to add coin values.
Description:
Directions: Students will use various coin denominations to explore the concept of fractions.
Description:
This math game invites students to use practice their addition and subtraction skills while building upon their knowledge of coin values. The activity can be modified for older children to allow them to practice their multiplication skills.
Description:
Students will play a coin identification game to familiarize themselves with coin values. They will add coin values to determine the game's winner.
Description:
Students will play a game involving the creation of different coin combinations using cents (pennies), nickels, dimes and quarters.
Description:
Students will select low-cost food items from a grocery store circular that reflect each of the six food groups. They will then create coin combinations to show the costs of each of their selected items.
Description:
Students will play a game in which they count out the coin costs for different labeled classroom items.
Description:
After reading an appropriate children's math text, students will review same type (denomination) coin sets, and will build same type coin sets equaling fifty cents.
Description:
Students will explore mixed (different denomination) coin sets and will create different total amounts using what they learn.
Description:
Students will learn and demonstrate that they can use a variety of coin combinations to make a single amount.
Description:
Students will match coins (of different denominations) to different amounts.
Description:
Students will play a game in which they determine the number of cents (pennies) that equal a nickel, dime and quarter. The students will also identify which sets has more, fewer, or the same amount while also counting each collection and writing the corresponding value.
Description:
Students will examine and discuss the designs on the circulating coins produced by the United States Mint. They will read to learn about the woman and child featured on the Golden Dollar. They will then compare and contrast this coin to the other circulating U.S. coins.
Description:
Students will make predictions to figure out the probability of a spun nickel landing on either heads or tails. Students will then test their predictions through experimentation.

Description:
Students will observe and make rubbings of circulating U.S. coins.
Description:
Students will look at different samples of coin combinations in a pocket. They will then learn how to determine the probability that a particular coin will be pulled at random from the pocket.
Description:
Students will make predictions to figure out the probability of a spun nickel landing on either heads or tails. Students will then test their predictions through experimentation.
Description:
Students will observe and make rubbings of circulating U.S. coins.
Description:
Students will conduct a science experiment where they will learn that the different denominations have characteristic densities that can be used to help identify the type of coin being used.
Description:
Students will compare the characteristics of arcade tokens to those of a circulating U.S. quarter to determine how a video game can tell the difference between the two.
