Teaching kids to count money is a precursor skill to understanding coin & note equivalence. Teaching kids to count money needs to be broken down into activities that allow them to:

1. Count like coins or like notes
2. Count mixed coins
3. Count mixed coins and notes

To be successful at the counting money strategy your students need to be able to:

• Recognise the coins or what they are counting – (Related Post: Coin Recognition activities are here)

Strategies For Teaching Counting Money

Teaching kids about counting coins is really about teaching them the process of mental repeated addition or skip counting.

When counting money you’re not finding out how many of something there is. You’re actually adding two or more quantities together, on the fly, in your head.

This counting process requires the counter to use repeated addition understandings, and skip counting number sequence patterns, to find out How MUCH or the Value of the money collection.

So it’s going to follow that the kids who don’t understand skip counting or can’t do mental repeated addition, will find counting coins tricky too! Our Australian Money Math Center Games will help kids to develop these strategies, so add them To Your Cart & download them today!
