Kindergarten Mathematics Money

Understandings:

  • Students must be able to identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters by name and the attributes to recognize these coins such as the president on the coin, the color, size, and texture of each coin, and recognize the design of the head and tails of each of the four coins. In Kindergarten, students are not required to count collections of coins. K.4(S)
Embedded Throughout Unit
  • Students should be able to count to 20 and back from 20 with and without the use of objects. If students are using one-to-one correspondence where each object counted is matched accurately with a number word in correct sequence, students should be able to accurately recite the number they are counting. Students would gradually be able to recite the numbers to and from 20 without the use of objects. (K.2) A
  • Students must be able to name the number of objects in a set without counting but rather by instantly identifying the arrangement of objects. This instant recognition of a quantity is called subitizing. Everyday common objects such as the pips on dominoes or dice are helpful for students to understand this concept. Objects that come in groups of 2, 4, 5, and 10 are easiest for students to form a mental picture of first such as shoes, socks, fingers, toes, etc. (K.2) D
  • Students should be able to recite numbers as it relates to counting forward by ones and tens from any number between 1 and 100.(K.5) A
