Buying Items

It doesn’t matter what grade I’m in, or how fantastic the teacher is, counting coins is always difficult.  I think it’s because students have to recall how much each coin is worth, figure out which one they have or which one they need, and then do all the math to total it up!  These worksheets are great practice for counting a collection of coins.  They are set up that students need to purchase items, and so it can easily be extended for higher students by asking them how much change they would need if they had a set starting amount.
