Half Dollar Hunt

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning activity designed for students to identify and color all the half dollar coins among a variety of other coins. It features images of many different U.S. coins in a grid format, including quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies, each with distinctive designs and sizes. The task is to recognize the half dollars, which are displayed with both their front and back sides for reference. The half dollars can be identified by the image of John F. Kennedy on the front and the Presidential Seal with an eagle on the back.

The aim of this worksheet is to enhance the students’ knowledge of U.S. currency, particularly the half dollar coin. It encourages visual discrimination by having students differentiate the half dollar from other coins based on its unique features. This activity also serves to familiarize students with historical figures and symbols of the United States as they appear on currency. Ultimately, it provides a hands-on approach to learning that can help reinforce the students’ ability to recognize and value different denominations of money.
