Show me the MONEY!” (Do you now have the scene from Jerry Maguire playing in your head?🤣) Money… it is a favorite math unit in any classroom. Why? Because kids love money! Let’s take that enthusiasm and dive deeper into money skills practice. Let’s use these 23 money activities for primary students to create engaging, no prep lessons, and small group centers practice. I like this video from Homeschool Popthat introduces all 6 different U.S. coins. Each coin is described, as small facts are given and the value of each coin is discussed. It is a great way for your students to be introduced to money before really digging into your unit. Also, consider pairing this video with an explicit explanation of each coin. You can use large magnet coins (aff) that can be placed on your whiteboard. Play a guessing game and give table points to those groups who can identify which coin you put on the whiteboard each time. Everything I Am" reached a high of number six in the UK Singles Chart. [3] The song, enhanced with a string arrangement, was a slow ballad version [1] of a song originally recorded by the Box Tops. [4] It was written by Spooner Oldham and Dan Penn. [4] Their follow-up singles, such as the Bill Martin/ Phil Coulter penned song "Nobody Knows It", were flops. [5]

Coins can be used to practice other skills too. Give your students plastic pennies and have them measure classroom objects and record the lengths in the number of pennies. How long are their pencils, notebooks, crayons, and scissors? Put this activity in a center as an accountability sheet and follow up to this lesson. Once the whole group lesson is over, you can follow it up with a price tag independent practice. You can also put any of these worksheets in a center with plastic coins and your students can practice making exact change all week long. Now that your students can identify all of the coins, you can bring some fun activities into their independent practice, early finisher work, center activities, and homework. These activities take money instruction to a whole new level (and will keep your students engaged because they are FUN!) Let’s take things up a notch by teaching our students how to add together different coins with different values. They now have a firm understanding of the basics (coin identification and value for each). This is a great way to practice the counting on strategy, as your students have to hold a coin value in their heads and then add more to it. You can work on this skill in a variety of ways, and since your students are playing with “money”, they will enjoy buying things. (You can even work a student store into your unit for some real-world applications.) 7. Buying ItemsYou can also extend this lesson by having students measure the same object with different coins. How many pennies long is the pencil versus how many quarters long? This is where the idea of “the unit of measurement” becomes so important. An object with a length of 5 pennies is much different than an object with a length of 5 quarters. 17. Coins can Help with Sight Words? How about using coin values to practice sight words? Assign each letter of the alphabet a monetary value. As your students spell the word, they are adding up the value too. Extend the lesson by seeing who can create the most expensive word, or make it harder by seeing if they can come up with a word of a certain value. You can ask, “Who can make me a 54-cent word, 39-cent word, etc.?” 18. Use Money in STEM

Color by Coin– similar to the Hidden Picture, your students will use the color code to complete the picture GREAT FOR GAMBLING GAMES: Keep the game casual when playing gambling games by using these fake coins. Everything I Am: The Complete Plastic Penny does exactly what it says on the tin, assembling everything the band recorded during their brief lifespan under one roof: mono and stereo versions of debut album “Two Sides Of A Penny”, the stereo-only follow-up “Currency”, non-album singles, alternative versions and mixes, foreign language recordings, the studio outtake ‘Celebrity Ball’ and, most intriguingly of all, forty-five minutes of BBC recordings in pristine sound quality. You can link this discussion to the importance of saving and spending. It helps students learn how to be responsible consumers in their communities.In small groups, we take it up a notch and put a similar activity into their center, but this time they grab a handful of coins, sort them, then graph how many of each they have. From there, they will answer questions based on the results of their graph. For younger students, I recommend combining both of these mats in the center to help keep them organized.
