What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students recognize each coin by its size, color, edge, and pictures. They connect each coin to its name and cent value.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student correctly sorts mixed examples of the three coins, even when they show different sides. The student states each value and explains one feature used to identify it.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think the largest coin is worth the most, so they rank a nickel above a dime. They may confuse coin names or count each coin as one cent.
How to Assess It
- Place a penny, nickel, and dime on a table. Ask each student to point to each named coin and tell its value.

Set up a classroom snack stand where students choose the correct single coin for items priced at 1, 5, or 10 cents.
