Half Dollar Hustle

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered around the concept of the half dollar coin, with images of the front and back of the coin displayed at the top for reference. The body of the sheet has several rows, each containing multiple half dollar coins, and students are asked to count the total number of half dollars in each row. They must then calculate the total monetary value in cents and write their answers in the blanks provided next to each row.

The worksheet is designed to educate students on the value of the half dollar and to enhance their counting skills specifically with this coin. It aims to improve their ability to quickly recognize and sum the value of multiple coins of the same denomination. The task also reinforces their understanding of the relationship between coins and their equivalent value in cents. By repeatedly calculating the amounts, students practice converting between different units of currency, a key skill for financial literacy.
