Counting Pennies, A Lot of Pennies - Day 2
1. Look at the pennies. What you would you buy if you had all of these pennies?
2. Look at the pennies again. If you had to count all of those pennies, how would you do that?
- Did you say put the pennies into groups of 5 and then count?
- Good thinking! That is a lot faster and easier than counting the pennies by 1s.
- But there is another faster and easier way to count the pennies.
3. Watch this video from Mr. C. about putting things into groups of 10 to make counting faster and easier.
4. Watch this video from Mr. Seiders about putting pennies into groups of ten to make counting faster and easier.
5. Now it's time to play a game. (You will need a bowl of 100 pennies, a score sheet, and a pencil.)
- The name of this game is A Plethora of Pennies.
- The student will record his/her answers on the score sheet. The score sheet is shown below. You can either download the file and print the score sheet, or you can get creative and make one of your own.

This is how you play A Plethora of Pennies.
- First, the student uses both hands to grab as many pennies as possible from the bowl and makes a pile.
- Then, the student decides if the pennies need to be put into groups of five?
- If the number of pennies is less than ten, the student should write no on the score sheet. Then the student will count the pennies by ones and record the total on the score sheet. Then the student will wait for the banker to check his/her work.
- If the number of pennies is more than ten, the student should write yes on the score sheet. Then the student will put the pennies into groups of ten. When the student cannot make any more groups of ten, he/she should count the groups of ten by tens. Then, counting on from the last number of the groups, the student should count the leftover pennies until there are no more pennies. The student will record the total on the score sheet and wait for the banker to check his/her work.
- The banker (parent) will check the student's work.
- If the student's work is not correct, the banker will ask the student to TRY AGAIN. The banker should watch the student count and make mental notes of where the student is making mistakes. The banker should not help the student or correct the mistakes at this point. If the student records an incorrect amount a second time, the banker should help the student and point out where the student was having trouble. (If your child is not able to count fluently by tens yet, revisit the skip counting activities from April 16 to help with that.)
- If the student's work is correct, the banker will put a check mark in the last column of the score sheet.
- Return the pennies to the bowl and repeat the process until the recording sheet is filled in completely.
- Take a picture of your finished score sheet, or record a video counting a lot of pennies by putting them into groups of ten and post it on your portfolio in Class Dojo.
