How to Use This Pack

Two pages that go over the whole money unit, to do together the day before the test. Its 12 questions are the same kinds as the test's, in the same order, with other coins and amounts, so nothing on the review is on the test. The last three (saving over time, deposits, withdrawals and borrowing, producers and consumers) are for the states that teach them. Coins and bills are drawn from real money pictures, coins at their true sizes next to each other. There is no Score line: it is practice, not a grade. The pre-check and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Do the review together the day before the test, with play coins and bills on the tables. Work a question, then let students try the next one on their own, and stop on any that trip up more than a few. Coins alone are written in cents (45¢) and bills in dollars ($45); bills and coins counted together make dollars and cents, written $6.76. The keys name each question's lesson, so a question the class misses points to the lesson to go back to.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school. Empty a pocket or a coin jar and count it together, starting with the coins worth the most. Ask your child to make the same amount two different ways.

Tips for Success

  • Keep play coins and bills out
  • Sort coins from the one worth most to the one worth least before counting
  • Say "cents" for coins and "dollars" for bills
  • Count the bills first, then count on with the coins: $6 and 76 cents is $6.76
  • Go back to the lesson the key names for a question the class misses

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 2.MD.C.8 Solve story problems with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar bills, writing amounts with the $ and ¢ signs.
