About this worksheet
Each penny on this page is labeled 1¢. The groups grow from 1 penny to 8, in rows of five, and the child writes how many cents in all.
Counting pennies is counting objects with a new name: each penny is one cent, so the number of pennies is the number of cents. Rows of five let a child see "five and two more" instead of counting each from one.
A worked example
Seven pennies: a row of 5 and 2 more below. How many cents?
- Count the top row: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
- Keep counting on the bottom row: 6, 7.
- Each penny is 1 cent, so 7 pennies is 7 cents.
- Write 7 in the ¢ box.
Answer: 7¢
The common mistake
What it looks like: Writing 1 for every group, because each penny says 1¢.
Why it happens: The label on each coin is the number the child sees most, so they copy it.
How to fix it: Point out that 1¢ is what one penny is worth. Touch each penny and count aloud; the last number said is the total.
