This Grade 1 mathematics worksheet uses 15 multiple-choice questions to help students identify pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and a dollar bill and determine their values. Students also combine coins, interpret the cents symbol, and decide whether a set of quarters is enough to pay for a 75-cent item, applying coin knowledge to simple money situations.
Introduce the four coins with real or classroom examples, asking students to name each coin and state its value before they begin the multiple-choice items. As students work, have them explain how one quarter and two dimes total 45 cents, why three quarters equal 75 cents, and whether the cents symbol represents dollars or cents. Review the coin-identification and value questions together so students connect names, symbols, and amounts.
Students may confuse coin names and values, especially when selecting among penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. Watch for errors when they add one quarter and two dimes, treat three quarters as less than 75 cents, or read the cents symbol as dollars. Students may also choose a coin's name correctly but fail to match it with the corresponding value.
The worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key. You can grade printable submissions by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, or review responses from the digital quiz.
