Matching Coins and Amounts

In this lesson, students will match the different coins: pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. They will have a worksheet on this concept so they can match the coins in Column A to the amount in Column B.

First, you can explain the concept to the students by illustrating different problems on the board. You need to explain the value of each coin. Then, you can give them the worksheet to do independently.
