Pennies, Nickels, and Dimes
Overview
Let’s learn about money!
In this lesson, we will learn how to identify and count coins. Coins are a type of money.
Money allows us to buy things.
Look at the graphic below!
We will learn about pennies, nickels, and dimes.
A penny is worth ONE cent.
A nickel is worth FIVE cents.
A dime is worth TEN cents.
We can count and add coins together.
Let’s practice!
Remember: A penny is worth ONE cent.
How much money is here?
Three cents!
1 + 1 + 1 = 3 cents!
Let’s try the problem below.
Remember: A nickel is worth FIVE cents.
How much money is here?
10 cents!
5 + 5 = 10 cents
Let’s try one more!
Remember: A dime is worth TEN cents.
How much money is here?
forty cents!
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40 cents
You should now be comfortable identifying a penny, nickel, and dime. It’s very important for us to know what these coins are and how much they represent, because we use them in everyday life!
For example: If I go to the grocery store and buy a gum that costs 5 cents, but I give the cashier a dime (because I only have a dime in my pocket), the cashier will owe me 5 cents back.
A dime is 10 cents and the gum cost me 5 cents, so I am owed the difference (10 – 5 = 5 cents). We need to be comfortable with this so we know if we are exchanging money properly in the real world!
