The ideas in this place value lesson are taken from the place value ebook that I sell at MathMammoth.com. Only a few examples of each problem type are shown; you should make more problems of each kind for the student.


Money - counting dimes, nickels, and cents
Free lesson plan from the ebook Place Value 1

This coin is called 
one cent or one penny.
We write 1 c or 1¢.
This coin is called one dime.
It is worth ten cents - 10c.

    Here you see two dimes - 10 cents and 10 cents -
and four pennies. Total 24 cents.

2.  Use real money, or draw gray circles with "10" for dimes and orange circles with "1" for pennies.

a.  62¢ c. 24¢
d. 77¢ f. 30¢


This coin is called one nickel.
It is worth five cents, or 5¢
  = 6¢
  = 8¢
Whenever you have five or more individual cents 
(besides whole tens), use the nickel.

one nickel (5¢) and three pennies. Total 38 cents.
