At this time your child should be able to recognize a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter (front and back) and state the value of each coin.  Your child should also be able to count a collection of each by counting by ones, fives, and tens.  Counting by 25 is trickier, but we will be experts on that soon.  The students are also learning how to count combinations of these coins, and to draw the coins that represent a value (Example: Show 57 cents with the fewest coins possible).  You can help your child by reviewing these coins (and their values) with them and by having them count small collections of coins.  You can also turn your practice into a game.  Take turns rolling dice.  Receive the number of pennies of the number you roll.  Count your money.  When it is your turn, trade in your pennies for nickels, nickels for dimes, etc.  The first player who is able to trade for a dollar wins!  Have fun playing with money!
