Learners use play coins to solve problems. They imagine that someone handed them two coins. One is a quater and one is a dime. Students are asked by feeling the shapes of the coins, how could they tell which one was the quater? They are...

First graders manipulate coins to show equivalencies between pennies and dimes. Given specific values, 1st graders model the specified amounts by using pennies and dimes. Through use of a computer assisted trading coins, students...

In this problem solving learning exercise, 1st graders read the word problems and then solve using addition. Students then draw or write to explain their answer.

Second graders review coins and their values. In this coin recognition lesson, 2nd graders review the coin values as they read 'Smart' by Shel Silverstein. Students use class computer demonstrations to identify the coin's names, worth,...

Fourth graders, in pairs, receive three different types of coin bags. They pick coins out of the bag and tally what was picked fifteen times. They do it with all three bags for three separate tallies.

Students complete lab activities to investigate the "sticky" properties of water, such as surface tension and capillary action, due to the polarity of the molecules.

Learners figure out and discuss the irony of this coin-centric poem. They also practice persuasive letter writing, and identify and count coin/money values.

Students drop water onto clean coins to determine the tension of each coin and then to graph their findings.

Pupils are introduced to the concept of probability. In groups, they make a prediction about how many times a coin might show heads or tails when flipped. They carry out the experiment and record their results to compare it to their...

Learners take turns matching the appropriate shapes (listing coin values) to those with numerical values listed on them. When learners are successful, they win a blank shape for their collection.

Here is a writing expressions activity in which learners write an expression to solve a set of 6 word problems; all problems relate to money.

Learners demonstrate that they can use a variety of coin combinations to make a single amount. They study all the ways to make 50 cents using coins using different coins.

For this order of operations (i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) worksheet, learners solve 5 word problems demonstrating their understanding of the concept.
