Counting Change

In Math, we are studying coins. I am noticing that students need the most practice with identifying coins and their worth. Not exactly counting money but knowing which coin is a nickel and how much that is worth. Many of them don't realize that each coin has a different value that doesn't change. When you really think about it, identifying coins and their values is complicated. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Show your student change and ask them to identify them. Quiz them on how much each is worth. Don't try to get them to count change just yet. Let's get down the identification first.
