Equal Amounts (A) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 2nd Grade
CCSS: 2.MD.C.8
CCSS Description: Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?
Equal Amounts (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Working through Equal Amounts (B) with your class or students will ensure that they are confident with ‘unitising’, an essential skill for calculating with money. Understanding unitising when it comes to money, means your students know that one item can have a value other than one for example, that a dime has the same value of 2 nickels.
In Equal Amounts (B) students have eight sets of pairs of purses containing different coins and they must decide whether the purses contain an equal amount of money or not. Skip counting in 2s, 5s and 10s is reinforced throughout as purses contain multiples of either 1¢, 5¢, 10¢ or 25¢ coins. No purse contains a mixture of denominations.
Students will be recognising 1¢, 5¢, 10¢ & 25¢ coins throughout.
