Why Knowing Coin Names and Values Matters
US coins don’t follow a logical size-to-value rule, which can confuse kids. This worksheet helps them learn names and values clearly, so they can confidently tell nickels from dimes.
- Financial Confidence: Handle real money in everyday situations
- Mental Math: Adding coins is easy once they know the values
- Real-World Readiness: Check if they have enough money for purchases
Getting this right prevents frustration and builds a positive money mindset.
