Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students recognize pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters and state each coin's value. They write coin values with the cent symbol in the correct position.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student identifies a dime from either side and states that it is worth 10 cents. The student writes the value as 10¢ and does the same for the other three coins.
Common Misconceptions: Students may decide value from a coin's size, calling a nickel worth more than a dime. They may confuse coin names or place the cent symbol before the number.
How to Assess It: Show one penny, nickel, dime, and quarter in mixed order. Ask the student to name each coin, state its value, and write each value using ¢.
