Coin Math - Multiplication Intro

This math unit begins by teaching students to count and calculate the total value of simple coin sets involving pennies and nickels, progressing to more complex combinations including quarters, dimes, and nickels. Starting with basic addition, learners gradually work through exercises that develop their ability to handle multiple denominations, enhancing their money management and coin recognition skills. As the unit progresses, it incorporates introductory concepts of multiplication, aimed at providing students with quicker calculation methods for larger sets of coins. The unit continues to build on these arithmetic skills, moving towards more comprehensive problems that include piles of different coins, ultimately solidifying students' abilities to perform calculations involving various combinations of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. This systematic approach cultivates a strong foundation in practical mathematics associated with everyday financial literacy.Skills you will learn include:

  • Values of coins
  • Multiplication as repeat addition
  • Working with 5s, 10s, 25s
