Students use a fifty or hundred chart to count coins. Students practice counting the pennies by ones, the nickels by fives, etc. It is challenging for students to count by tens, then by fives, then by ones. Using the hundreds chart can help them. First, the students in first grade reviewed money by simply moving nickels onto the chart and counting by fives. They did the same for dimes, counting by tens. The lesson is easy to differentiate as some students need to work with penny and nickel amounts, whereas others can move on to combinations of coins and to quarters. This particular lesson was done on the computer using Kidspiration (the files can be downloaded below). It can also be completed in the classroom by using hundreds charts. |
| This student counts larger amounts using the hundreds chart. Students have to learn the quarter amounts. From 75, the student uses their knowledge of the hundreds chart to know that 85 is 10 more than 75 for the dime. They then count by ones with the penny amounts. For a student who struggles, they should start at 75, and then count ten squares to get to 85. |
