Any good ideas for teaching students about coins? Our first graders have been struggling to master lessons about money.

Set up a purchase system. Begin each day with an assigned amount of money then have students purchase going to specials, sitting with friends, etc. Throughout the day stop and count money. If a student has 5 pennies get them to tell what you can trade for and have them trade the money. It makes the money more relevant.

Why don’t you buy a set of plastic coins and give students each a set? To best understand coins, they need to have a good basic understanding of numbers and multiples of 1, 5, 10, and 25.

What have you tried so far?

I used touch points for coins and counting a group of change when I taught first grade. It was hard for them to switch between counting by 5, 10, 25 so I taught them to use touch points so they only needed to count by 5. A nickel you touch in the middle as you count, a dime you touch top and bottom, a quarter you touch 5x. I found songs about coins helped them remember them as well.

just make it as real life as possible. have them simulate buying things at the store, buying prizes, etc. i love the suggestions above ^

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns.

However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
