Understanding counting coins word problems

Counting coins word problems ask learners in Grades 1 to 3 to read a short story about a number of identical coins and find their total value. The key idea is repeated addition, or skip counting, in the size of the coin: a handful of the same coin is counted in steps rather than one penny at a time. This links money sense to multiplication and prepares children to make and check change.

For example, “Mia has 6 nickels — how much money is that?” is solved by counting 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, so Mia has 30 cents. A common mistake is counting the coins (6) instead of their value (30 cents). Tip: name the coin’s worth first, then skip count by that amount as many times as there are coins, and finish with the unit — cents or dollars — not just a bare number.
