Money Matters

Students discuss the quarter. In this money instructional activity, students find the value and characteristics of the quarter. They see how many pennies it takes to equal one quarter. 

In this math worksheet, students sing a song called "Oh, Yes!" to the tune of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." The song describes how much a pennies, nickels, and dimes are worth.

Students participate in a game called Dynamite Dimes.

Pupils play a game designed to give them practice identifying coin names and values. They form two lines with coins spread out in between the teams and when the teacher calls out a coin, the two in front scramble to find the specified coin.

Learners count, record, and calculate money. They save, as well as to explain the value of jobs and working hard.

Students identify characteristics of a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter, match the value of coins, and practice using money for a purchase.
