I am working with Ashlyn on money. She can count by 5′s and 10′s so I figured she can start counting money. She does pretty good with counting it but still needs practice on remembering the names of the coins and how much they are worth. I thought it would be the other way around. She’s not too interested in it either so I try to come up with different ways for her to practice. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know. The other day in room time I had her sort coins using plastic tweezers. I wrote the names down of each of the coins and then she sorted them. On her white board, I wrote down some questions for her to answer about her sorting when she was done. Which coins had the most? the least? How many pennies and dimes did you have? etc.
I though you might be interested, I have some printable money in my blog
have fun
