How to use these pages
Children learn money in a clear order. In kindergarten and first grade they name the coins and learn what each one is worth: a penny is 1 cent, a nickel 5 cents, a dime 10 cents and a quarter 25 cents. Then they count small sets of coins, starting with the biggest value and counting on (25, 35, 40, 41). In second grade they count mixed coins up to a dollar, compare amounts and solve simple shopping problems; in third grade they add dollars and cents and work out change.
These sheets follow that order. Start with the coin value chart and identify the coins, then count to 25 cents, 50 cents and a dollar. Making change and the shopping word problems come last. Real coins on the table make every sheet easier. For New Zealand and Australia there is a coin chart and a counting sheet with the 10c, 20c, 50c, 1 dollar and 2 dollar coins.
Frequently asked questions
Are these money worksheets free?
Yes. Every money worksheet is free to print for home, home school and classroom use, with no sign-up. Each one has a PDF for US Letter and A4, and an ink-saver version.
Do the counting money worksheets have answer keys?
Yes. Every worksheet has its answer key on page 2 of the PDF, and “Show solution” shows the answers on screen. The two coin charts are reference pages with nothing to mark.
Are the coins real pictures?
No. The coins are simple drawings: a circle the right size compared with the other coins, ridges on the edge for the dime and quarter, a copper, silver or gold tint, and the value in the middle. Show children real coins alongside the sheets so they learn the real faces too.
What is the best way to count coins?
Sort the coins and start with the one worth the most. Count on by its value, then move to the next biggest: for 2 quarters, 1 dime and 3 pennies say 25, 50, 60, 61, 62, 63. Counting by 5s and 10s first makes this much easier.
What grade learns to count money?
Most children name coins in kindergarten or first grade, count coins to a dollar in first and second grade, and add money and make change in second and third grade. Use the sheet that fits your child, not the grade on the page.
Is there a PDF to print?
Yes. Every page has free PDF downloads for US Letter and A4 paper, with the picture centered inside print-safe margins. Choose "Download PDF (Letter)" or "Download PDF (A4)" on the page and print at 100% (actual size).
