Free Printable Money Worksheets for Elementary Students

Children usually begin learning about money in early elementary school. Though we take it for granted as adults, learning about money can actually be quite difficult! You have to first learn to recognize each coin and dollar by it's name and size. You then have to know how much each of those are worth. Next, you must learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide money. Continuing through school, children learn about interest rates and all sorts of money concepts, so it's important that they receive a solid foundation when it comes to money. These are important skills that will follow them for the rest of their lives, so provide them with plenty of practice, hands on activities and encouragement for tackling such a tough subject! Use these free printable money worksheets as a guide to help your child learn all about money.

Identify Coin Values with Free Printable Money Worksheets

One of the most popular worksheets we have is the sheet that teaches children how to identify coin values. By clicking on the link, you can see that the sheet is in full color with extremely accurate depictions of the quarter, nickel, dime and penny. The purpose of the activity is to have the student match the coin with the appropriate value. These four coins make up the majority of the coins used in the United States. Of course, there are silver dollars, gold dollars, half dollars and more, but this provides students with the foundation they need to learn how to count out change. After the students have matched the coins up, consider having them all cut out their coins. They can then be placed in piles according to coin type. Appoint the children to groups of three or four, and give each group some of the coins. Write amounts on the board and have the groups count out the amount using their paper coins. This can be a lot of fun to see the different ways students can come up with the amounts.

Twenty cents, for example, can be:

·         2 dimes

·         1 dime and 2 nickels

·         4 nickels

·         1 dime, 1 nickel and 5 pennies

·         3 nickels and 5 pennies

·         2 nickels and 10 pennies

·         1 nickel and 15 pennies

·         20 pennies

·         1 dime and 10 pennies

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be. 

~Douglas Pagels

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

~Jim Morrison

Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

~Albert Camus

True friends will always push you towards the great possibilities of your future, false friends will always chain you to the mistakes in your past.

~Seth Brown

A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad. 

~Arnold H. Glasgow

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

~Doug Larson

Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer.

~Ed Cunningham

Friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of peace.
~Gautama Buddha

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. 

~Elisabeth Foley

Friend: One who knows all about you and loves you just the same.

~Elbert Hubbard

Friendship is a give and take. You have to have a strong relationship with your friend and I think you have to offer them something and they have to offer you something and that’s to always learn from it.

~Raven Symone

An acquaintance merely enjoys your company, a fair-weather companion flatters when all is well, a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.

~E.A. Bucchianeri

It costs nothing to ask wise advice from a good friend.

~George S. Clason

If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair. 

~Samuel Johnson
