Count the gold coins
For St. Patrick’s Day, the coins turn to gold, but the counting rule stays the same: count quarters by 25s, dimes by 10s, nickels by 5s, then add pennies by 1s.
How to use it
Start with the biggest coin and work down, saying the running total out loud. Warm up with pennies and nickels, then take on counting coins to a dollar or grab more from the St. Patrick’s Day math worksheets hub.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Count in order: quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies. Skip-counting that way prevents recounting and errors.
🏠 Parent note
Have your child count the biggest coins first, out loud: 25, 50, 75... then 10s, 5s, and 1s.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Counting coins by size instead of value
- Skipping the skip-count order
