These free coin counting worksheets are a great way for kids to practice your math skills – and of course start learning how to quickly and easily sort and count coins!
Why Use Coin Counting Worksheets?
When I first designed these worksheets, I wanted to come up with a way that my youngest daughter could help me sort through and count up a gigantic jar of loose change.
We have so much fun doing things like coin roll hunting and metal detecting as a family with kids so it always seems I have a pretty big pile of coins to sort through!
My daughter had never rolled coins before, and while she could count the coins, she was quickly getting frustrated because she would sometimes lose her place and end up having to count the whole roll all over again.
Being the inventive mama that I am, I decided to make these worksheets to help her and I figured if she liked them there would surely be other kids who would enjoy them too!
I could see these being a great way to keep toddlers and preschoolers entertained on the days the kids are bored and need an important job to do!
Beyond just using them to learn how to roll coins, there are so many other ways these worksheets could be used! You could use them for skip-counting, multiplication tables practice, and so much more!
How to Use These Worksheets
The pennies, quarters, nickels and dimes coin counting worksheets are designed so that if you cover up all the spots for each coin, you know you have the correct number of coins to put into a roll of coins.
Even if you do not have enough coins to cover ALL the spots, there’s also the ability to quickly put your coins on the worksheet and know, okay, we have 5 rows of 4 quarters each, that’s $5 worth of quarters.
In addition, these coin counting worksheets can help eliminate that problem of having to be able to stay focused while counting up the coins.
If you ever struggle with being easily distracted while counting, these are a lifesaver that can save you a lot of time spent recounting coins while you roll them!
Beyond just basic counting skills, there are multiple different ways you can use these. If you are a teacher or a homeschooling parent, these sheets are super flexible for all sorts of counting and math exercises.
