Change It! - [this link opens on a new page] practice adding up all of your coins - You select the number of problems that you want to use as well as the number of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars that may appear in each problem. You may elect to express your questions in words only, coins only, or a combination of both
Coins for Candy - [this link opens on a new page] identify, know the value of, and compare the values of a penny, nickel, and dime (Author - Sandi King)
Counting Coins - [this link opens in a new window] add coins on the flashcards
Counting Coins - up to 5¢, up to 20¢, up to 50¢, up to 99¢, customize amounts - from FreeMathTest
Worksheets to print are also available supporting instruction of this topic
Discovering Coin Values - a target amount is given and students drag coins to the slide to equal that amount [values over 50¢ used]
Grandpa's Game - [this link opens on a new page] count money (Author - Sandi King) [50¢ and $1 coins are used at the end of this game]
How Many Cents? - Count the coins to show the total number of cents. (totals above 50 cents are included)

Let's Count Money [both links open on a new page](introduction and instructions) followed by a quiz - coin value problems occasionally display amounts greater than 50¢. Caution: This site uses both sides of the coins, but the two sides are not exactgly the same size!
Match the coins to the amount - a printable from Enchanted Learning (another version of this activity) (a third worksheet on this topic)
Money Drills (from Room 108) - [this link opens on a new page] drag coins, one at a time, to equal the amount given [values above 50¢ used]
Money Flashcards - [this link opens on a new page] Coins and bills, or just coins, are displayed and students determine the value. Best used as a whole class review; this is not a game with an end. Occasionally values greater than 50¢ are displayed.
U. S. Coins (printables from Enchanted Learning) - Scroll a bit more than halfway down this page until you see Adding and Subtracting Coins (Printouts). Look below that to see about six dozen printables of various difficulty.
