About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students find the total value of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies and write it with the ¢ symbol.
  • Students solve dollar bill story problems, including finding change, and write answers with the $ symbol.
  • Students compare coin amounts by the value of each coin, not the number of coins.

How to use

Use after students know the value of each coin and bill. Give students play money so they can build each car wash payment before they write the total.
