Parent guide

In Grade 1, money is a first meeting with coins. Kids learn the name and value of each coin and begin to add a few together. It is early practice, so a small number of coins is plenty.

What gets hard is that value and size do not match. A small coin may be worth more than a big one, and that surprises many six year olds. Having real coins on the table beside the sheet helps a lot.

Start with Counting coins at the easy level, where there are only a few coins on the page. Your kid writes the total in the box. If they count the coins instead of adding their values, say each value aloud as you point, and build up from the biggest coin.

Moving on can wait. When your kid can total four or five coins without losing track, try a harder level with a few more coins. Adding prices is a Grade 2 skill, so you can skip it for now. Keep each session to a handful of problems and let your kid check the answer key.
