Counting Dimes and Pennies is a free printable Mathematics worksheet for Kindergarten through Grade 2 students. It includes 10 multiple-choice “How much?” questions in which students determine the total value, in cents, of groups containing dimes and pennies. The answer choices are close numerical values, so students must count the coins carefully and distinguish each coin’s value rather than guess from the options. This worksheet supports early money skills by connecting coin recognition with counting and composing amounts in cents. It works well for independent practice, a small-group review, or a quick check of students’ ability to count dimes and pennies. The worksheet includes a complete answer key for efficient checking and feedback, whether students complete it during instruction, at a learning center, or as take-home practice.

This worksheet covers counting groups of dimes and pennies to find their total value in cents. Its 10 multiple-choice “How much?” questions require students to identify the coins, apply each coin’s value, and choose the matching total from four answer choices.
First review that a dime is worth 10 cents and a penny is worth 1 cent, then model counting one of the coin groups represented in the worksheet. Have students explain how they combined the dimes and pennies before selecting an answer, and use the remaining multiple-choice items for guided practice followed by independent work.
Watch for students treating a dime as 1 cent, overlooking a penny, or counting each coin without using its correct value. Because the answer choices are neighboring totals, students may also choose a number that is close but reflects one missed coin or a dime counted incorrectly; ask them to recount and state the value of each coin.
