Coin Carnival

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features rows of coins, each row with a different combination of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Students must count the value of the coins in each row, then choose the correct total amount from a set of three options provided. Finally, they are instructed to write the correct total amount in a blank space provided, thus demonstrating their understanding of both coin recognition and addition.

The worksheet is aiming to teach students how to identify and count the value of U.S. coins. It focuses on enhancing their counting skills, as they must accurately add up varying quantities and types of coins. It also tests their recognition of numerical values and their ability to distinguish between similar numbers, as they need to select the correct total from options that are close in value. Moreover, it reinforces basic arithmetic by having them physically write the sum, solidifying the math concept through multiple methods of engagement.
