Half Dollar Highlights

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a visual activity where students are presented with columns of coins, and they are tasked with coloring in the circles that represent a half dollar. Each column includes various coins, but only the combinations that equal fifty cents should be colored. One example is already done for the students, giving them a clear indication of what to look for. This sheet provides a fun and interactive way to learn about coin values and combinations.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to recognize different ways to make fifty cents using various coins such as quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. It encourages them to understand the concept of equivalent values-that there are multiple coin combinations that can add up to the same amount. The coloring aspect of the worksheet makes it engaging and helps in retaining their attention. Through this exercise, students enhance their ability to quickly calculate coin values and develop a practical understanding of money.
