Are your students having a difficult time with counting coins? The Magic Money method has worked for me for the last 8 years of teaching money to 2nd graders. This download includes:
- a chart that students might place in their homework/classroom folders with realistic, dual-sided pictures of each coin, coin values, a chant for each coin, and the placement of the dots that will aid them in counting the coins.
- a one-sheet parent explanation of how the Magic Money system works, and how to use it to help their child become successful at counting coins at home
- a hundred chart that specifically aids children in becoming fluent at counting by 5's (a necessary sub-skill for using this method)
This method will work for the vast majority of your students. Don't worry about them relying on the dots. With time, they will begin to chunk larger values together until they are counting coins in a more traditional way.
If you find this download helpful, this product is part of a larger download "Counting Coins Made Easy with Differentiated Materials" that you can find HERE.
I also offer an ActivInspire flipchart to accompany these learning materials HERE.

Thank you so much for sharing this! And for keeping it free! I love this method and the kids loved it too! I have a question, I taught my kids that the circles with the X in them on the half dollar mean 10. It seemed to work. Do you see anything negative with that?
March 22, 2013
Nicole Rios (TpT Seller)
Tammy,
I don't see any reason not to continue doing what you have been doing. Especially if it has been working with your students. I say go for it!

I had heard of the poems but never thought to have the students count by 5's. Thanks!

This is great! I had a kiddo from last year who could have used this! She really struggled with money. I will have to have her third grade teacher check it out so that she can use it with her!

Great idea! The chants are good. The counting by 5 got a little tricky the way it is printed. Love It!

I use that poem to teach coins as well. It was an added bonus to get the Touch Math tool to go with it.

The dots in the middle of each coin are an excellent idea since most students can skip count by 5's.

Thank you. I have found that it is the perfect scaffold for those students who struggle with counting coins. I hope you do, as well.
