Market Match-Up

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents an interactive activity where students match sets of coins to the prices of various items illustrated on the page. Each item has a price tag next to it, and below the worksheet, there are sets of coins that add up to different amounts. Students are instructed to cut and paste the coin set that equals the price of each item into the corresponding empty box. The exercise includes items priced between 10 cents and 85 cents, challenging students to recognize and sum different combinations of coins.

The worksheet aims to develop students’ understanding of the value of coins and enhance their ability to use these values to match exact amounts. It encourages hands-on learning through cutting and pasting, which also helps to improve fine motor skills. Through this activity, students practice addition and get familiar with practical applications of counting money. Ultimately, the worksheet is designed to build confidence in handling small denominations of currency, an essential skill for financial literacy.
