These sheets allow students to count and manipulate change. Students are challenged to count an amount of change and then show the same amount using different coins. This helps students with the concept that there are multiple correct ways to show a given amount it also allows them to practice using the strategy of trading lesser value coins in for higher value coins. Sheets are designed to be photocopied and cut apart so that each student is given the same problem. There are enough problems to give the students a new one everyday for 2 weeks, giving them 2 weeks of consistent practice with manipulating and thinking about money.

I have been a 4th grade classroom teacher for many years in a large urban school district. I am currently working as a mathematics coach in an urban elementary school. In my role as math coach I am able to help teachers be the best math teachers that they can while also helping our k-5 students gain a deeper understanding of the world of mathematics.
