This hard worksheet introduces coin word problems and missing-amount thinking for first graders. Four multiple-choice questions ask students to solve real-life situations, like Sam having 1 quarter and 1 dime or figuring out how many more pennies are needed to buy a 30-cent sticker. Five fill-in-the-missing-amount problems then ask students to complete equations like 1 dime plus blank pennies equals 14 cents, building algebraic reasoning.
