Eight groups of one-dollar bills and coins, each worth up to $5. Children count the bills, then the coins, and write the total with a dollar sign and decimal point, like $3.41. The Common Core standards ask 2nd graders to solve problems with dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols correctly.
The new idea is writing dollars and cents together: 3 dollars and 41 cents is $3.41. Talk about why there are always two digits after the point. For coins only, use the main money worksheets; next, try making change.
Tips for using it
- Count bills first, then coins starting with the biggest.
- Say the total both ways: 'three dollars and forty-one cents' and 'three forty-one.'

What money skills does 2nd grade cover?
Solving word problems with dollar bills and coins, and using the $ and ¢ symbols correctly.
Why is $3.05 written with a zero?
The two digits after the point are cents. Five cents is 05, so three dollars and five cents is $3.05, not $3.5.
