Mathematics
This Grade 2 mathematics worksheet helps students identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters and connect each coin to its value. It includes 13 multiple-choice questions about recognizing pictured coins and selecting their values, four drawing prompts that use red dots or a line to represent counting, and four fill-in-the-blank items about coin values and counting by 5s. Students practice distinguishing the four common coins while connecting visual representations to amounts in cents. Use this free printable worksheet for guided practice, independent work, or a quick check of students’ early money skills. The drawing items give students a hands-on way to represent counting to 10 and 25, while the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions check coin recognition and recall. A complete answer key is included to support efficient review and grading.

This Grade 2 mathematics worksheet practices identifying pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters and matching each coin with its value in cents. Its 13 multiple-choice, four drawing, and four fill-in-the-blank questions also ask students to represent counting to 10 and 25 with red marks and recognize that the red dots are counted by 5s.
Introduce the four coins with physical or projected examples, then have students name each coin before discussing its value. Use the worksheet’s multiple-choice items for guided identification, pause at the drawing prompts to model counting by 5s to 10 or 25, and finish with the fill-in-the-blank items as an independent check.
Watch for students who identify a pictured coin correctly but choose the value of a different coin, especially when distinguishing pennies, dimes, and quarters. In the drawing prompts, students may place marks without showing the intended count to 10 or 25, or miss that the red dots are counted by 5s; the fill-in-the-blank items can reveal whether they know that a penny is worth 1 cent.
