Lesson 15

Math

Unit 4

2nd Grade

Lesson 15 of 22

Objective


Understand the value of dimes, nickels, and pennies.

Student-Facing

I can identify and name the value of dimes, nickels, and pennies.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • 2.MD.C.8 — Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Criteria for Success


  1. Identify the coin and the value of a dime, nickel, and penny. 
  2. Name the value of a group of dimes, nickels, and pennies.

Tips for Teachers


  • The goal for this lesson is for students to be able to add like groups of coins only. In the next lesson, students will use skip-counting strategies to count groups of mixed coins. Some students may show that they can skip-count as part of this lesson but the expectation is not that students have to find the value of an entire mixed collection of dimes, nickels, and pennies. 
  • After this lesson you can have students share a small coin collection to count as a class.
  • For each coin students are introduced to, start a class created chart that includes a picture of the front and back of the coin, the value, and the name of the coin. Leave space also for how you might model the coin by its value.
