What this lesson shows
Penny 1¢, nickel 5¢, dime 10¢, quarter 25¢, half-dollar 50¢, and dollar coin 100¢. Order them by what they are worth, not how big they are.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: nickel, half-dollar, dime, penny, by value. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Name each coin
- Say its value
- Order by value, not size
Helping at home
Say what each coin is worth, then put the coins in order from least to most cents. A dime is small but worth more than a penny or a nickel. Real coins to hold help most.
If your kid gets stuck
What is each coin worth?
