Math
Module 9 - Money
Students will learn to identify coins and their
values.
9.1 What are the values of pennies, nickels,
and dimes?
9.2 How can you count a group of pennies,
nickels and dimes?
9.3 How can you count a collection of coins?
Students need a lot of practice counting real
coins. Please have your child count your
change every day during homework. He/she
should be able to count on by ones, fives, and
tens to determine the value of a group of
coins to $1.00.
Please read over the day’s lesson and choose one or
two problems to discuss with your child. If she or he can
teach the concept to you, then you know mastery
occurred.
Math homework goes home every day, but Friday, in the red
folder. It is to be returned the next day. Homework is not
graded, but checked, and teachers keep track of whether the
homework is done or not as a report card requirement.
Timed math fact test goal sheets are to be kept in
the back pocket of your child’s red folder in order for
you to know what facts to study each week.

identify the following
landforms:
