Counting Coins (Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters) — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. penny
2. nickel
3. dime
4. coin
5. cents
6. value
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Two pennies equal 2 cents.
Each penny is worth 1 cent, so 2 pennies together equal 1 + 1 = 2 cents.
2. One nickel equals 5 pennies.
A nickel is worth 5 cents, and each penny is 1 cent, so you need 5 pennies to equal one nickel.
3. One dime equals 2 nickels.
A dime is 10 cents and a nickel is 5 cents, so 5 + 5 = 10, meaning 2 nickels equal one dime.
4. A quarter equals 25 pennies.
A quarter is worth 25 cents, and since each penny is 1 cent, you need 25 pennies to make a quarter.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A dime is worth 5 cents.
True False
False. A dime is worth 10 cents, not 5 cents. A nickel is the coin worth 5 cents.
2. Two nickels make 10 cents.
True False
True. Each nickel is worth 5 cents, so 5 + 5 = 10 cents.
3. A quarter is worth more than a dime.
True False
True. A quarter is worth 25 cents and a dime is worth only 10 cents, so a quarter is worth more.
