Questions From Teachers

Is this really free?

Yes. Enter your email and the download link comes to your inbox. It is the first part of the paid pack as it prints, not a watermarked preview.

Why does the value chart need to print at 100 percent?

The chart shows each coin at its real size so a child can lay a real coin on top and see that it matches. If the printer shrinks the page to fit, the coins print smaller than real coins. Choose actual size or 100 percent in the print settings.

What is in the paid pack that is not here?

The sort mats and cut-out coins, the rest of the matching steps, four skip-counting pages, eight mixed-coin problems, bill cards and count-the-bills problems, Can I Buy It?, make-the-amount cards, the teacher guide, the data sheet, the answer key, the IEP goals and the A4 file.

Are these real coin pictures?

Yes. The coin cards and the value chart use United States Mint photographs, which are in the public domain, so a child sees the same penny, nickel, dime and quarter they will hold. The quarter shows its heads side only, because quarter backs change from year to year.

How do I use the coin cards with a child who learns differently?

Start with one real coin and its card. Say the name and the value, let your child hold the coin, then lay it on its picture on the value chart. Add the next coin only when the first one is easy. The matching page then asks your child to pick the right name from two choices.
