Count Coins with Quarters: what children learn

Quarters are worth 25¢, which students learn to count by 25s (25, 50, 75) before adding smaller coins. Ordering coins from biggest to smallest keeps the running total manageable.

Count Coins with Quarters: worked example

2 quarters + 1 dime + 3 pennies = 63¢

2 quarters are 50¢, 1 dime is 10¢, and 3 pennies are 3¢. 50 + 10 + 3 = 63, so the total is 63¢.

Count Coins with Quarters: a common mistake to watch for

Kids often mix up a quarter with a nickel or a dime and count it as 5¢ or 10¢. A quarter is worth 25¢.

Count Coins with Quarters: how to help at home or in class

Stack four quarters and count 25, 50, 75, 100 until it feels like a song. Then add one extra coin at a time: three quarters is 75 cents, add a dime to make 85 cents, add a nickel to make 90 cents. Keep going until your child can start with the quarters without being told. When quarters come first automatically, totals over a dollar are the next challenge.
