Piggy Bank Party

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a collection of nine piggy banks, each filled with various US coins, arranged in three rows of three. Students are invited to count the coins in each piggy bank and write the total amount in cents in the provided line next to each bank. The coins appear to include pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, familiarizing students with common currency denominations. With its playful design, the worksheet turns a math exercise into a visually engaging activity.

The objective of this worksheet is to teach students the fundamentals of counting money and to recognize the different values of US coins. It encourages the development of basic addition skills as students tally the sum of coins in each piggy bank. The task also aims to improve students’ numerical writing skills as they record their answers. Moreover, it subtly introduces the concept of saving, as piggy banks are traditionally used to store coins, which is a foundational aspect of financial literacy.
