I have had these money worksheet generators for a while on my site, but recently I went through them and fixed some errors they had (SORRY!). For example, one problem I fixed could have caused the worksheet to take a long time to generate. They should work better now. Please let me know if you have ideas for improvements - if they are easy to implement, I will do so. You can make worksheets for counting coins and bills in 6 different currencies . You could even let your kids/students explore other currencies just for fun! Some of these countries, such as Australia, have really colorful and pretty coins/bills. US money worksheets Canadian money worksheets Australian money worksheets British money worksheets European money worksheets South African money worksheets European and US money are also available as Spanish versions: Dinero estadounidense Dinero europeo

Did you know that Math Mammoth complete curriculum (Light Blue series) now comes with five different currencies? When you purchase either grade 1, 2, or 3 downloadable curriculum, you will get the chapter on money in all of these currencies (as PDF files): US money, Canadian money, European money (euros), British money, and Australian money (The reason that higher grades don't have these is because I don't include instruction on coins and bills/notes after third grade... it is assumed as mastered.) Of course, you only need to study through your own currency, but some of you might be curious to take a peek in the other monies as well - if nothing else, to see how their coins look like. For example, Australian money does not use 1-cent coins at all. The smallest coin they have is 5 cents.  Or, British 50-pence coin is a heptagon in shape! Canadians use a 2-dollar coin nicknamed "toonie". It's pretty too. Interested? You can find samples and purchase info...

I have two new books available for the Math Mammoth Blue Series: 1) British Money Math Mammoth British Money is a worktext that covers money-related topics usually encountered during years 2-4. The book contains both textbook explanations and exercises, and is designed to be very easy to teach from, requiring very little teacher preparation (you do need to find practise coins before the lessons). Please read more, and see free sample pages. 2) Fractions & Decimals 3 Math Mammoth Fractions & Decimals 3 continues the study of fraction and decimal topics, on the 6th grade level .

Image by Stopnlook In the past few days I decided it's time for my younger girl to start learning how to recognize coins and learn the cent-values of various coins. She's generally been doing kindergarten-1st grade addition and subtraction and I figured she's ready. First, I got a pile of pennies, a pile of nickels, and a pile of dimes (no quarters at first). We played where I told her to make a certain amount, such as "Make 24 cents." She made it, I checked. Then she told me to make some amount. We just take turns. It's like a game, and great fun for her! I figure it'll work the same with other kindergarten or 1st grade kids. Since she did pretty good, I was able to introduce quarters the next day. I showed her that two of them makes 50, and we practiced making 62 or 58 or other such amounts that use 2 quarters. Then I showed her a quarter and a nickel, and we figured out how much that was. That's always a difficult thing - to combine just one quarter...
