Count my money
measurement · counting money with pennies, nickels, and dimes
To count money - pennies, nickels, and dimes only [2.MD.C.8].
Count my money is a Grade 2 money game built around pennies, nickels, and dimes. Teams combine information from dominoes and game cards with coin values, giving students repeated practice identifying coins and finding total amounts. Because several representations are involved, students have to connect number quantities with the value of real-world money rather than simply naming coins in isolation.
Use it in a small group when students are learning to count mixed sets of common coins. The team format creates natural opportunities to check totals and explain how a value was found.
